New Rust Tutorial: Structured Logging with tracing

●6 ●20
calendar_today • schedule1 min read

For this week’s Rust update, I released a new episode of Fearless in Rust focusing on production-ready logging with tracing.

This video shows how to:

  • set up flexible log layers
  • output compact or JSON logs
  • attach fields like source_id for request tracing
  • use TraceLayer to auto-log HTTP traffic
  • apply #[instrument] to clean up debugging

Great for anyone building API services or distributed systems in Rust.

Liked how you highlighted the source id trick, Ansh Kunwar, it feels like one of those tiny things that suddenly makes debugging smoother. Curious when you first realised tracing could clean up so much noise.

OpenTelemetry just standardized LLM tracing. Here's what it actually looks like in code.
