+# 🚀 Feature: Comprehensive Production Error Handling and Logging System
+
+## 📋 Overview
+
+This PR introduces a comprehensive, production-ready error handling and logging system for Devr.AI. The implementation addresses critical issues identified in the codebase review and establishes robust error management practices across both backend and frontend components.
+
+## 🎯 Problem Statement
+
+### Issues Identified:
+- **Inconsistent Error Handling**: Different endpoints returned errors in various formats
+- **Poor Error Visibility**: Limited error context and tracking capabilities
+- **Basic Logging**: Simple logging without correlation IDs or structured formatting
+- **No Request Tracking**: Difficult to trace requests across system components
+- **Missing Health Monitoring**: Limited visibility into system component health
+- **Frontend Error Management**: Basic error handling without retry logic or user-friendly messages
+- **Environment Validation**: Weak validation of required configuration
+
+## ✨ Solution Overview
+
+This PR implements a comprehensive error handling system with the following key features:
+
+### 🔧 Backend Improvements
+- **Custom Exception Classes**: Structured exception hierarchy with context information
+- **Error Handling Middleware**: Automatic error processing with correlation IDs
+- **Enhanced Logging**: Structured logging with rotation, correlation tracking, and performance monitoring
+- **Health Check System**: Comprehensive health monitoring for all system components
+- **Configuration Validation**: Robust environment variable validation with helpful error messages
+
+### 🎨 Frontend Improvements
+- **Enhanced API Client**: Retry logic, comprehensive error handling, and request tracking
+- **Custom Error Classes**: Structured error objects with correlation IDs and context
+- **User-Friendly Error Messages**: Meaningful error messages for better user experience
+- **Health Monitoring**: Frontend health checks and service status monitoring
+

+
+## 🚀 Key Features
+
+### 1. Standardized Error Responses
+```json
+{
+  "error": {
+    "code": "VALIDATION_ERROR",
+    "message": "Invalid email format",
+    "correlation_id": "req_1698765432_abc123def",
+    "timestamp": 1698765432.123,
+    "path": "/v1/integrations",
+    "context": {
+      "field": "email",
+      "user_id": "123"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Correlation ID Tracking
+- Every request gets a unique correlation ID
+- IDs are tracked across all system components
+- Enables end-to-end request tracing
+- Included in both logs and response headers
+
+### 3. Comprehensive Logging
+- Structured logging with JSON format support
+- Log rotation to prevent disk space issues
+- Separate log files for different log levels
+- Performance monitoring with execution time tracking
+- Correlation ID integration for request tracing
+
+### 4. Health Monitoring System
+- Overall system health endpoint: `/v1/health`
+- Individual service health checks: `/v1/health/{service}`
+- Detailed diagnostics for development: `/v1/health/detailed`
+- Service status classification (healthy/degraded/unhealthy)
+- Response time monitoring
+
+### 5. Retry Logic and Resilience
+- Automatic retry for failed requests
+- Exponential backoff strategy
+- Configurable retry conditions
+- Circuit breaker pattern consideration
+- Network error handling
+
+### 6. Environment-Aware Configuration
+- Development vs production behavior
+- Comprehensive configuration validation
+- Helpful error messages for missing configuration
+- Graceful degradation for optional services
+
+## 🧪 Testing
+
+### Test Coverage
+- **Error Response Format**: Validates consistent error response structure
+- **Exception Handling**: Tests all custom exception classes
+- **Middleware Functionality**: Tests correlation ID generation and error processing
+- **Health Check Endpoints**: Validates health monitoring functionality
+- **Retry Logic**: Tests frontend retry mechanisms
+- **Configuration Validation**: Tests environment variable validation
+
+### Test Categories
+- Unit tests for individual components
+- Integration tests for end-to-end error flows
+- Performance tests for logging overhead
+- Health check functionality tests
+
+## 📊 Performance Impact
+
+### Minimal Overhead
+- Middleware adds ~1-2ms per request
+- Logging is asynchronous where possible
+- Health checks are cached appropriately
+- Retry logic includes timeout controls
+
+### Monitoring
+- Response time tracking via `X-Process-Time` header
+- Performance logging for slow operations
+- Health check response time monitoring
+- Error rate tracking capabilities
+
+## 🔒 Security Considerations
+
+### Data Protection
+- Sensitive data redaction in logs
+- Error messages don't expose internal implementation details
+- Correlation IDs don't contain sensitive information
+- Rate limiting integration ready
+
+### Production Safety
+- Detailed error information only in development
+- Stack traces logged but not exposed to clients
+- Configuration validation prevents misconfigurations
+- Health checks don't expose sensitive system information
+
+## 🌐 Environment Support
+
+### Development Mode
+- Detailed error responses
+- Debug logging enabled
+- API documentation available
