We are very lucky on the Rollbar Customer Engineering Team because we get to work with many many development teams. Each team develops, tests, and deploys their applications in their own way. They have chosen different languages and frameworks to solve their particular problem. We learn from each team that we work with, and share these learnings to our Product Design team.
One of the hardest tasks for software engineers is often having to stop what you are doing and look into a software bug (error), find the root cause and fix it quickly. This is hard because you may have never seen the affected code (someone else wrote it), it could be code you wrote a long time ago or just the context switching from what you are working on right now.
To enhance user experience, avoid data loss, and guard against security vulnerabilities, frontend errors must be handled properly. In this post, we'll cover the most common types of frontend errors and best practices for handling them. We'll also explore how to use the popular error monitoring platform Rollbar to track and manage errors.
What’s better than great support? Live in-app support with a real person when you need it During the last two months we have been rolling out our live chat capability for all Rollbar users regardless of the plan you are on. That's right; you can now speak to a real person from our customer engineering team to help answer your product related question from within the Rollbar application. Our goal is to provide more support channels when you need it without having to wait for an answer.
Rollbar was founded with the belief that done is better than perfect. Building software is complex and it's better to move quickly and manage risk intelligently rather than try to build perfect code. For the past decade, Rollbar has provided peace of mind to hundreds of thousands of developers by monitoring production environments for errors. The tool has been leveraged to find and fix bugs in a fraction of the time and is trusted by the individual developers to at-scale enterprises.
