Transforming Engineering at Rollbar

It's been a busy year at Rollbar! While many of the new features we built got all the needed attention (press, blog posts, conferences), the underlying work to transform and modernize our platform might have been less visible. With this blog post I'd like to share with you all the exciting initiatives we launched in this past year and recognize all the deserved credit for all the engineers that worked restlessly to get us where we proudly are today.

Guide: RegEx 101 for Managing Log Data

Regular expressions can be crucial for wrangling log data efficiently. You may want to extract specific data from your logs to make it easier to analyze and visualize. Sometimes you might want to capture an email when a particular message is logged. Other times, you may find yourself needing to hide sensitive data in logs before they are saved.
