Discussion on: why you should not use console.log( ) for debugging ?

Well that's true. I haven't encountered a scenario where I print variables in production servers. But I do see your point.

There's a comment here on pino-logger with sentry. Granted, sentry isn't a one size fits all, but I would use this in a server for logging.

an even better option is you use pino-logger, it has methods like logger.error, logger.info etc and you can send those logs to be collected somewhere like a file or even a third party service like sentry. I dont recommend using the debug module like this when loggers exist
