When you first try a new library or framework, you are excited about it. However, as soon as you run something on production, things are less than ideal — an error here, an exception there - bugs everywhere! You start reading your logs, but you often lack context, like how often an error happens, in what line, etc. Fortunately, tools such as AppSignal can help. AppSignal helps you track your errors and gives you a lot of valuable insights.

At AppSignal, our pricing revolves around the number of requests we process for a customer and the number of buckets of logging data we store. After their free trial, customers are offered the most fitting plan for them based on their usage in the previous 30 days. About nine years ago, we noticed that many customers were slowly growing their number of requests, but we kept charging them for the plan they started on.

In late 2012, we were getting somewhere with this unnamed side project that was supposed to replace our overpriced New Relic subscription. If we wanted to tell the world about it, it needed a name. This is a brief history of how we came up with the name, and how we landed appsignal.com. Besides being co-founder, I was also "the name guy” at 80beans, the consultancy where AppSignal was born; you know, the person that comes up with fun names and finds out the.com has been squatted.
