Congrats on the launch. I have a ton of 3rd party APIs I'm integrating with, so like you have been thinking about all the stuff I'll need to do to make it reliable in production.

What do you guys do for masking or encrypting sensitive data? I like the opportunity to log everything but a lot of what I'd want to log is PII or sensitive financial data.

We have two approaches to securing this kind of data. Once you specify what fields you want secured we can simply mask it out, or we can hash the data in a way that allows you to search for it if you know the value you are looking for.
