As you probably know, source maps allow you to view source code context obtained from stack traces in their original, untransformed form. This view is particularly useful when attempting to debug minified code (like UglifyJS) or transpiled code (like TypeScript or ES6). We’ve made the analogy before, but source maps act as the decoder ring to your secret (minified or transpiled) code.

We've added a small but useful feature to Oh Dear! last month, which allows you to customize the recipient of your invoices.

Errors are a fact of life in web development, and even the world's greatest brands are not without fault. Errors can create unhappy customers, deter new ones and reduce revenues. An error monitoring solution offers a clear view of the most important errors based on how often they occur and how they impact users. It will give your engineering team confidence to deploy faster, and debug problems quickly, so they can get back to building new features.

It seems like email has been around forever, and we all take it for granted. For many of us, it has been forever, for email has been around since the 1960s in various forms. By 1995 SMTP, POP3, and IMAP email protocols became the standard. To make sure your staff and customers can continue to take email for granted, you should use Email Server Monitoring from Uptrends. Uptrends now supports IMAP server monitoring.

Real User Monitoring, or RUM, is a type of monitoring technology for digital businesses that analyzes customers’ digital experiences by looking at exactly how online visitors are interacting with a website or application, analyzing everything from page load events to AJAX requests to frontend application crashes. The most commonly known example of RUM would be Google Analytics, or GA, which tracks certain spectrums of the interaction between your user and your website or webapp.

Grafana is an open source tool, with Apache 2.0 license, designed by Torkel Ödegaard (who is still in charge of its development and maintenance) and created in January 2014. This Swedish developer began his career in the .NET field and since 2012, until nowadays, he continues offering development and consulting services through this popular proprietary platform, while developing free software at the same time.

Onboarding new clients can be a very time-consuming process for MSPs. To get the lay of the land, you typically need to make the trip to the client site, crawl through switch closets, perform a site survey, and complete many more manual tasks. But even after that investment of time and resources, sometimes you don’t get the full picture.

Within a Linux network or development system, launching a limited set of applications or services (often known as microservices) in a self-sustaining container or sandboxed environment is sometimes necessary. A container enables administrators to decouple a specific set of software applications from the operating system and have them run within a clean, minimal, and isolated Linux environment of their own.
