Does this work with the Next.js App Router?

Yes, the implementation patterns are specifically designed for modern Next.js environments using the App Router and Clerk's latest server-side SDKs.

Can I track authentication latency?

Absolutely. The skill includes middleware patterns to measure and log the duration of auth checks, allowing you to alert on p95 or p99 latency spikes.

What monitoring platforms does this skill support?

It includes ready-to-use templates for DataDog and Sentry, but the logging patterns are generic enough to be adapted for New Relic, LogRocket, or custom ELK stacks.

How does it handle user privacy in logs?

The provided patterns focus on non-sensitive identifiers like User IDs and Session IDs, with explicit guidance on avoiding PII like email addresses in log metadata.

Is webhook verification included in the monitoring?

Yes, it provides a comprehensive structure for receiving, verifying via Svix, and tracking success/failure metrics for Clerk webhooks.
