Like the post, but the backticks on all sorts of things is very distracting - am I missing some value here?

Great post. I do the same thing for all of my Rust web servers too. I don't use anyhow though, prefer rolling everything myself - which as you call out is a pain after a while.

would you get backtraces with this implementation? I've been increasingly frustrated with axum. It hits my custom error where I print something like "sqlx database failed" but when there's lots of traffic it's hard to determine which of the hundreds of queries actually failed. What I really want is the top part of a backtrace or at least a line number. I know anyhow gives bts but will it actually be useful when used like this?

Anyone else have ideas on how to solve this?
