+# Phoenix Tracing: Production Guide (Python)
+
+**CRITICAL: Configure batching, data masking, and span filtering for production deployment.**
+
+## Metadata
+
+| Attribute | Value |
+|-----------|-------|
+| Priority | Critical - production readiness |
+| Impact | Security, Performance |
+| Setup Time | 5-15 min |
+
+## Batch Processing
+
+**Enable batch processing for production efficiency.** Batching reduces network overhead by sending spans in groups rather than individually.
+
+## Data Masking (PII Protection)
+
+**Environment variables:**
+
+```bash
+export OPENINFERENCE_HIDE_INPUTS=true          # Hide input.value
+export OPENINFERENCE_HIDE_OUTPUTS=true         # Hide output.value
+export OPENINFERENCE_HIDE_INPUT_MESSAGES=true  # Hide LLM input messages
+export OPENINFERENCE_HIDE_OUTPUT_MESSAGES=true # Hide LLM output messages
+export OPENINFERENCE_HIDE_INPUT_IMAGES=true    # Hide image content
+export OPENINFERENCE_HIDE_INPUT_TEXT=true      # Hide embedding text
+export OPENINFERENCE_BASE64_IMAGE_MAX_LENGTH=10000  # Limit image size
+```
+
+**Python TraceConfig:**
+
+```python
+from phoenix.otel import register
+from openinference.instrumentation import TraceConfig
+
+config = TraceConfig(
+    hide_inputs=True,
+    hide_outputs=True,
+    hide_input_messages=True
+)
+register(trace_config=config)
+```
+
+**Precedence:** Code > Environment variables > Defaults
+
+---
+
+## Span Filtering
+
+**Suppress specific code blocks:**
+
+```python
+from phoenix.otel import suppress_tracing
+
+with suppress_tracing():
+    internal_logging()  # No spans generated
+```
