Track Errors in Fastify with AppSignal

Fastify is a cutting-edge web framework for Node.js that offers exceptional speed and efficiency. With its extensible plugin system, support for asynchronous programming, and focus on minimalism, it is an ideal choice for backend developers developing Node.js applications. But even the most performant web applications can encounter issues that are difficult to debug without the proper tools in place. We will explore how to use AppSignal for a Fastify application.

Integrate RabbitMQ with Logic Apps using Azure Functions
