[Runtime logs](https://vercel.com/docs/observability/runtime-logs) now offer a request-centric interface to streamline debugging and provide deeper traffic insights:

- **Request anatomy UI**: Visualize each request’s lifecycle in a sequential view, from the firewall through middleware and function execution. Gain a full picture of how your app processes traffic at every stage.
- **Improved log viewer**: A full-width design enhances readability, grouping all log lines for a request into one panel, including middleware and function invocations.

These are available on all plans starting today.
