# Which Problems Are Solved
Streams allow differentiating logs produced by different components of
Zitadel.
# How the Problems Are Solved
The `backend/v3/instrumentation/logging` package now exposes convenience
function for setting and getting a logger from the context. As well as
high-level functions to emit log records at various levels. When
constructing a new logger a "stream" needs to be specified:
- **runtime**: General runtime logs, such as startup and shutdown
messages. Default for logs that do not belong to the other categories.
- **request**: Logs for incoming API and HTTP requests.
- **event_handler**: Logs for event handling in projections.
- **queue**: Logs for the job queue processing.
- **event_pusher**: Logs for event pushing to the database. Disabled by
default, contains sensitive information.
Each line from the returned logger contains a `stream` field as well as
a `version` field with the current Zitadel version.
## Runtime config
Streams can be enabled by passing an array of stream names in the
runtime config. Because some log streams may contain sensitive data
(especially events), it is now also possible to mask values by their
key.
# Additional Changes
- Wrap `slogctx` in the `logging` package. (Except API error converter
packages, because of import cycle)
- Add some docs to `logging` package so other devs understand how to add
logging to Zitadel
- Add `logging.OnError` and `logging.WithError` helper functions with
`Panic()` and `Fatal()` methods, to preserve current calls in the `cmd`
packages.
- Add instance context extractor.
- Only output request details in the request info log. Request ID
remains propagated through context.
- Moved middleware functionality into protocol specific packages.
- Removed setting of URI to context in metric middleware. There were ony
setters and no getters. (Unused value)
- Reuse a single statusWriter in the middleware package for middlewares
that need to know the response status.

# Which Problems Are Solved
We identified the need of caching.
Currently we have a number of places where we use different ways of
caching, like go maps or LRU.
We might also want shared chaches in the future, like Redis-based or in
special SQL tables.
# How the Problems Are Solved
Define a generic Cache interface which allows different implementations.
- A noop implementation is provided and enabled as.
- An implementation using go maps is provided
- disabled in defaults.yaml
- enabled in integration tests
- Authz middleware instance objects are cached using the interface.
# Additional Changes
- Enabled integration test command raceflag
- Fix a race condition in the limits integration test client
- Fix a number of flaky integration tests. (Because zitadel is super
fast now!) 🎸🚀
# Additional Context
Related to https://github.com/zitadel/zitadel/issues/8648
This implementation increases parallel write capabilities of the eventstore.
Please have a look at the technical advisories: [05](https://zitadel.com/docs/support/advisory/a10005) and [06](https://zitadel.com/docs/support/advisory/a10006).
The implementation of eventstore.push is rewritten and stored events are migrated to a new table `eventstore.events2`.
If you are using cockroach: make sure that the database user of ZITADEL has `VIEWACTIVITY` grant. This is used to query events.
