Logback vs Tinylog
Developers should learn Logback when building Java applications that require robust and configurable logging, such as web services, microservices, or large-scale systems where tracking application behavior is critical meets developers should use tinylog when they need a straightforward logging solution without the complexity and bloat of larger frameworks like log4j or slf4j. Here's our take.
Logback

Logback
Nice PickDevelopers should learn Logback when building Java applications that require robust and configurable logging, such as web services, microservices, or large-scale systems where tracking application behavior is critical
Pros
- +It is particularly useful in production environments for diagnosing issues, performance monitoring, and compliance with logging standards, offering better performance and more features than its predecessor log4j
- +Related to: java, slf4j
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Tinylog
Developers should use Tinylog when they need a straightforward logging solution without the complexity and bloat of larger frameworks like Log4j or SLF4J
Pros
- +It's particularly useful for small to medium-sized Java projects, IoT devices, or applications where startup time and memory footprint must be minimized, offering easy configuration and zero dependencies
- +Related to: java, logging-frameworks
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Logback if: You want it is particularly useful in production environments for diagnosing issues, performance monitoring, and compliance with logging standards, offering better performance and more features than its predecessor log4j and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Tinylog if: You prioritize it's particularly useful for small to medium-sized java projects, iot devices, or applications where startup time and memory footprint must be minimized, offering easy configuration and zero dependencies over what Logback offers.
