In an increasingly data-driven world, the ability to summarize and display data while making it easy to understand and actionable is more important than ever.

In the first of this two-part series, we covered how to set up AppSignal in a Ruby on Rails application for many great insights out of the box. AppSignal can automatically track errors, monitor performance, and report metrics about some dependencies.
