Implement Server Middleware for Global Request Handling

In this lesson, you'll configure server middleware to process every incoming request before it reaches your application's route handlers. You'll create a logging middleware that records request data, including URLs, methods, and headers, with the unstorage module.

This approach is helpful for tasks like telemetry and logging.

However, it's important to use server middleware carefully, as it runs on every request and can impact performance if overused. For more targeted tasks, consider using methods within specific routes.
