Questions to ask your APM provider before you buy

APM is something that some organizations either don't fully understand or don't put much thought into until it's too late. When there's a problem with an application, the organization scrambles to find a tool that can help solve the problem at hand.

Introducing granular permissions: Customize team member's access for finer control

Thousands of developers work in Raygun every day. But as the number of team members added to your organization grows, it can be tough to make sure only plan Owners have access to major plan settings in Raygun.

Best practices for tracing and debugging microservices

Applications have, traditionally, been developed as "monoliths." This term describes how application code is compiled and delivered. Monoliths are compiled and/or packaged into a single binary, or a bundle of code, and deployed as a single unit. That single unit contains hundreds, sometimes thousands of lines of code. The functionality packed into that deployable artefact is most, if not all, of the functions of the application.

Serverless error monitoring: Strategies you can use

If you're thinking of running a serverless setup, congratulations! But...that means you're running a distributed system. With all the benefits and simplicities that come with going serverless comes this tradeoff: You potentially also have some increases in complexity. Distributed systems are, by their nature, complex. With partitions, you're communicating over a network that's potentially unreliable and can't be trusted. Which means that monitoring your application errors is going to be especially important.
