Install nestjs-pino, pino, pino-http, and pino-pretty for structured JSON logging with request context and correlation ID support.
Create StructuredLoggerService wrapping Pino with: - JSON output format for production (CloudWatch/Datadog compatible) - Pretty-print transport for development - Log levels: fatal, error, warn, info, debug, trace - Sensitive data redaction (auth tokens, health data, passwords) - Child logger support for request-scoped context - ISO timestamps and structured metadata
Add RequestContextMiddleware that: - Generates/propagates X-Request-Id and X-Correlation-Id headers - Attaches request context (requestId, correlationId, userId) to req - Logs request completion with method, URL, status, duration - Enables distributed tracing across services
- Replace console.log calls in main.ts with StructuredLoggerService - Register LoggerModule as global module in AppModule - Apply RequestContextMiddleware to all routes - Set Pino as the NestJS logger adapter - Add LOG_LEVEL and LOG_JSON env vars to .env.example
Replace NestJS Logger with StructuredLoggerService in AllExceptionsFilter: - Include requestId, correlationId, userId in error logs - Differentiate server errors (5xx) from client errors (4xx) in log level - Structured context enables error correlation in Datadog/Sentry
- 7 tests for StructuredLoggerService (log levels, child loggers, pino instance) - 8 tests for RequestContextMiddleware (ID generation, headers, event handlers) - All 15 tests passing
Document LOG_LEVEL and LOG_JSON environment variables for structured logging configuration.

WalkthroughThe backend adds Pino-based structured logging with configurable levels, JSON output, redaction, request IDs, correlation IDs, request logging, and structured exception handling. ChangesStructured logging
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The new request logging behavior may expose sensitive URL or client data and accept unsafe request identifiers, while the documented JSON-output setting currently has no effect. Merge should wait for sanitization and configuration alignment. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Remove sensitive request data from logs and error responses. Validate and bound request IDs, or generate replacements. Log a query-free path, omit or sanitize userAgent, and do not interpolate or return the raw URL.

Honor or remove LOG_JSON.
backend/.env.example documents LOG_JSON, but this service never reads it. LOG_JSON=true does not enable JSON output outside production. The setting is ineffective.
Read LOG_JSON when selecting the transport, or remove it from the documented configuration.
Also applies to: 46-57

Summary
Replace all
console.log/console.errorcalls in the backend with structured logging using Pino. Adds JSON output format, log levels, request context (request ID, user ID), and correlation IDs for distributed tracing — prerequisites for Sentry and Datadog integration referenced in SECURITY.md.Changes

Tradeoffs
nestjs-pino. Winston would work but adds unnecessary overhead for a health credential platform at scale.LoggerModuleis marked@Globalso any service can injectStructuredLoggerServicewithout importing the module. This is intentional — logging is a cross-cutting concern that every module needs.authorization,cookie,password,token,secret,encryptionKey,healthData, andmedicalRecordfrom logs. Additional paths can be added to the redact config inlogger.service.ts.pino-prettyis a dev dependency and only loaded whenNODE_ENV !== 'production'.
