Logging glow up

[jsstevenson]

Feature description

I'm not confident that our development or production logging protocols for the backend are up to snuff. Frankly, I think I wrote them before I had much of an idea of how logging in Python worked, and it wouldn't surprise me if they're broken somehow. I'd like to do a reevaluation.

Use case

Gotta know when something breaks!

Proposed solution

• Double check initialization params
• Add logging statements where helpful
• Add noisy log suppression to tests
