Why not use sys.maxsize here? Then, we definitely should never need to bump this limit again.

Bug: String Truncation Test Assertion Too Weak

The assertion in test_databag_string_stripping is too weak, defeating the test's purpose. This test is designed to verify that large strings are truncated to keep serialized event sizes manageable. However, the current assertion len(json.dumps(event)) < DEFAULT_MAX_VALUE_LENGTH * 10 allows the serialized event to be as large as the input string (1,000,000 bytes, given DEFAULT_MAX_VALUE_LENGTH = 100_000). This fails to ensure that truncation is actually occurring and keeping the event size manageable. The assertion should be tightened to effectively test string stripping, similar to the original < 10000 bound.
