Do we plan to keep these logs in the production code?

I would want to keep these for future debugging. This would be helpful to catch issues as we iterate. Wdyt?

Is there a way to set the log level in production code?

Developers should be able to set the logging level in their production apps by using the following code:

import logging

logging.basicConfig()
firebase_admin_logger = logging.getLogger('firebase_admin')
firebase_admin_logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
