INFO	Interesting events. Track the general flow of the application. Activate it with LOG_LEVEL=INFO	User logs in, SQL logs, worker process/delete a message...
NOTICE	Uncommon events. This is the default verbosity level.	Missing environment variables, page redirection, pod starting/restarting/terminating, retrying to query an API...
WARNING	Exceptional occurrences that are not errors. Undesirable things that are not necessarily wrong.	Use of deprecated APIs, poor use of an API, unauthorized access, pod restart because of memory limit ...

$ python -m venv venv
$ source venv/bin/activate

Once the virtual environment is activated, install python-bufflog locally:

$ pip install -e .
