Intro to Logging Frameworks

Use SLF4J, Logback, or java.util.logging to capture diagnostics consistently.

Adopt SLF4J bindings to remain implementation-agnostic and support different appenders in production.

Structure log messages with contextual data (logger.info("Order {} failed", orderId)).

Set appropriate log levels (debug vs info vs error) to balance signal with noise.
