Benchmarking code with Winston

- [Instructor] Let's start benchmarking code execution…within our application using the logger Winston.…When viewing a game,…there's a request to get the game in question…by ID from the game's API.…However, we have no idea how long that takes.…If you did the challenge video,…you added the request logger that uses…more into the game's API.…That will report how long it took…for the response to be built and sent.…What it doesn't tell us…is how long the entire transaction takes,…including the time that it takes to make the request…and send it across the network.…

With our application, everything is running locally,…so that's not really a factor.…But in a more distributed application,…that can be a very valuable piece of information.…Winston, the logger we're using for our application…includes a built in timer that can be retrieved…and started with a method, startTimer.…Then when execution is completed, execute timer.done…with a message to display the duration in milliseconds.…According to the documentation at the time of this writing,…
