# Best Practices

## Best Practices


1. **Consistent Log Format** - Use pipe-delimited for easy parsing
2. **Include Timestamps** - Always log when events occur
3. **Add Metadata** - Extra context helps debugging
4. **Rotate Logs** - Prevent unbounded growth
5. **Validate Input** - Sanitize before logging
