## Logging
We generally prefer to log with static log messages and include any dynamic
information in fields.
```golang
logger := util.GetLogger(ctx)
// Not recommended
logger.Infof("Finished processing keys for %s, number of keys %d", name, numKeys)
// Recommended
logger.WithFields(logrus.Fields{
"numberOfKeys": numKeys,
"entityName": name,
}).Info("Finished processing keys")
```
This is useful when logging to systems that natively understand log fields, as
it allows people to search and process the fields without having to parse the
log message.
