We built Versions for customers who are adopting software development practices like Continuous Delivery. One important habit to cultivate when you're seeking to adopt Continuous Delivery is to deploy early and often. This is easier to do when you have a tool like Rollbar that allows you to see all production errors instantly and quickly prioritize and debug them as needed. With Versions, we're making it even easier for you to use Rollbar to monitor errors from code revisions you've just deployed.

Last week we released version 4.0.0 of the honeybadger Ruby gem. This release includes a long-awaited feature which makes it even easier to customize your error reports before they are sent to Honeybadger. We also did some much-needed refactoring, and made a few removals and deprecations for good measure. Don't worry, though—most of the API remains unchanged, so upgrading should be a relatively painless process for most users.

Since the 1920s, higher education institutions have been using this term to describe the nomenclature of the early years of study. Here we announced some time ago our intentions to focus on tutorials, but we believe that as knowledge is important, we have brought you different kinds of articles because we consider that wisdom is a valuable asset (we include a source for some online encyclopaedias).

The world of web development is always shifting and changing. This is especially true when it comes to WordPress and PHP as well. So how do web development companies remain ahead of the curve? By monitoring WordPress and PHP developments closely, of course.

StatusGator is built on Ruby on Rails, a popular choice for rapid web application development for more than a decade. One of the many benefits of Rails is its rich ecosystem of open source gems which can provide massive value quickly. We discovered one such gem, Ahoy, on our recent quest to understand how our users find out about StatusGator.

Great News to the PHP users. Pinpoint PHP-agent is open. Visit our Pinpoint-PHP-Agent repository(https://github.com/naver/pinpoint-c-agent) for more information. Additionally, Pinpoint-NodeJS-Agent project is going to start soon.

In A Comedy of Errors, we talk to engineers about the weirdest, worst, and most interesting application and infrastructure issues they’ve encountered (and resolved) over the years. This week, we hear from Jason Dufair, Full Stack Developer on the Studio team at Purdue University.

In mobile apps, it’s important to monitor errors so you can understand your user’s experience. Your team should know quickly when there are problems with the app itself or your backend services so you can fix the issue before more customers are affected. We’ll show you how to handle errors in iOS apps. We’ll then show you how Rollbar error monitoring can give you better visibility into errors and help you troubleshoot them faster.

Increasingly more software teams - ourselves and our customers included - are adopting practices like microservices and/or Continuous Delivery. We built the All Items View to make error monitoring much easier for those using Rollbar in such ways.

Logging is an important part of understanding the behavior of your applications. Your logs contain essential records of application operations including database queries, server requests, and errors. With proper logging, you always have comprehensive, context-rich insights into application usage and performance. In this post, we’ll walk through logging options for Rails applications and look at some best practices for creating informative logs.
