Hi everyone,

I’m building a Wishlist app using Remix, and I have a question regarding error handling and logging.

If any error occurs in the app (either server-side or client-side), what is the recommended approach for logging the error details effectively? Should we use a dedicated database table to store error logs, or is there a better way to handle this in a production environment?

I’d appreciate any best practices or suggestions from the community on how to implement proper error tracking and logging in a Shopify app built with Remix.
