Logs are only useful if you can trust what’s inside them. Too often, the problem starts before the first dashboard ever loads. Sensitive fields slip through. Schema shifts quietly. Suddenly one service emits `user_id` while another emits `userid`, and every query downstream breaks. Most teams try to fix it after ingestion. Mask it, standardize it, or filter it in the pipeline. The trouble is that by then, the damage is already done. Unsafe or inconsistent data is already written. Costs rack up, audits get messy, and the noise spreads. I’ve spent the past year building Cerbi to handle this problem at the source. In-process, before the event ever leaves the app. It intercepts log events inside the provider, evaluates a governance profile, and decides what is safe to emit. Everything else gets sanitized or blocked. The goal is simple: govern logging behavior before it becomes telemetry debt. No pipeline rewrites. No fancy detours. Just safer, cleaner logs at emission time. #Logging #DevSecOps #PlatformEngineering #Governance #SoftwareArchitecture https://lnkd.in/eUFddyQB
