+## Logging
+
+- Avoid print formatting messages on loggers, prefer to use fields on the logger to encapsulate additional information
+    ```go
+    // Avoid This Style, it bakes too much information into an unformatted message
+    log.Debugf("something special %s happened", somethingSpecial)
+  
+    // Prefer this style with fields
+    log.WithFields(log.Fields{
+      "somethingSpecial": somethingSpecial
+    }).Debug("something special happened")
+    ```
+- Pass loggers through the function chain as they become more specialized. This keeps extra fields on the loggers from
+  higher contexts and preserves additional information captured during the process of getting to where the current
+  line is being logged. The logger should be one of the first arguments defined for helper functions. Public functions
+  should not require a logger to be passed, but may offer a similar method with a logger input.
+    ```go
+    func doSomething(logger *log.Entry, ...) {
+      //does something
+      logger.Debug("Something")
+      specialLogger = logger.WithFields(log.Fields{
+        "specialField", value
+      })
+      doSubSomething(specialLogger, ...)
+    }
+  
+    func doSubSomething(logger *log.Entry, ...) {}
+    ```
