The Most Popular Lambda Logger for Node.js
LambdaLog facilitates and enforces logging standards in Node.js processes or applications anywhere by formatting your log messages as JSON for simple parsing and filtering within log management tools, such as CloudWatch Logs. Works with all of the supported versions of Node.js on Lambda.
Originally created for AWS Lambda Functions, LambdaLog is a lightweight and feature-rich library that has no dependency on AWS or Lambda, meaning you can use it in any type of Node.js project you wish.
Why another Lambda logger?
There are plenty of other logging libraries in the NPM ecosystem but most are convoluted, included more functionality than needed, not maintained, or are not configurable enough. LambdaLog was created to include the important functionality from other loggers, but still maintaining simplicity with minimal dependencies.
