Question 1

How to set up phuslog for daily log rotation?

Accepted Answer

Use FileWriter with MaxSize and a cron job to call Rotate(), or implement a custom Cleaner for time-based rotation. The README shows examples with cron integration for hourly or daily rotations using external libraries like robfig/cron.

Question 2

phuslog vs zerolog: which is better for performance?

Accepted Answer

phuslog generally offers better performance with zero allocations, as benchmarks show it outperforms zerolog in speed and memory usage. However, zerolog might have a more established ecosystem, so choose phuslog for raw speed or zerolog for broader integrations.

Question 3

How to add contextual fields like request ID to all logs in phuslog?

Accepted Answer

Use the Context field with NewContext to add preserved key-value pairs. For example, set logger.Context with a tracing ID using Str or Int, and it will be included in every log entry from that logger instance.

Question 4

Does phuslog support async logging for high throughput?

Accepted Answer

Yes, phuslog includes AsyncWriter for asynchronous logging, which can boost write performance under high load. However, you must explicitly call Close() to flush data safely, as noted in the README.

Question 5

How to use phuslog with the Gin web framework?

Accepted Answer

phuslog provides third-party interceptors via the log-contrib repository, which includes Gin integration. This allows you to replace Gin's default logger with phuslog for structured logging in web applications.

Question 6

What are the trade-offs of using phuslog's ConsoleWriter in production?

Accepted Answer

ConsoleWriter provides human-readable, colorized output but is not recommended for high-concurrency critical paths due to performance impacts. Use it only in development or for low-volume logs, as cautioned in the README.
