AI Analysis

●●SolidShip ItSolve My Problem

Replay button and localhost dashboard beat console.log debugging for API work.

Strengths
  • •Zero-config middleware works across Express, NestJS, Fastify, and Go frameworks
  • •Request replay feature saves time debugging failed API calls
  • •Clean API requires just one import to get started
Weaknesses
  • •Only works in development, no production deployment option
  • •HTTP request logging already has many established alternatives
Target Audience

Backend developers debugging APIs locally

Post Description

I got tired of this loop:

add console.log → redeploy → reproduce → squint

Built reqlog. One import, a dashboard opens at localhost:9000, you see everything in real time — payload, response, latency, replay button.

NestJS: @Module({ imports: [ReqlogModule.forRoot()] })

Express: app.use(require('reqlog-express')())

That is the entire setup.
