Rollbar Pro Tips: Telemetry

Telemetry allows you to view a 'breadcrumb' of events leading up to an exception directly in the Item details view. Telemetry is currently available in the Javascript, iOS, .NET, and Node.js SDKs. (and more to come!) Rollbar is the leading continuous code improvement platform that proactively discovers, predicts, and remediates errors with real-time AI-assisted workflows. With Rollbar, developers continually improve their code and constantly innovate rather than spending time monitoring, investigating, and debugging.

Rollbar Tip of the Day: Auto-Resolve

Simplify your error management workflow and configure Rollbar to automatically resolve items on deploy, or set an inactivity timer to resolve items if they have not occurred in a certain number of days. Rollbar is the leading continuous code improvement platform that proactively discovers, predicts, and remediates errors with real-time AI-assisted workflows. With Rollbar, developers continually improve their code and constantly innovate rather than spending time monitoring, investigating, and debugging.

Rollbar Tip of the Day: Item status & Severity level

Control the state and priority level of your incoming items, and learn how you can quickly act upon them via Slack! Rollbar is the leading continuous code improvement platform that proactively discovers, predicts, and remediates errors with real-time AI-assisted workflows. With Rollbar, developers continually improve their code and constantly innovate rather than spending time monitoring, investigating, and debugging.

Why You Need Error Grouping

Anything we can do to make debugging more efficient will lead to major cost and time savings. Currently, developers have to sift through alerts to pinpoint the root cause of errors and these alerts don't always contain meaningful data to help solve the problem. By grouping errors, developers have the opportunity to clear away the noise and focus on the bugs that are truly causing the most problems, making the task faster and more efficient.

Monolithic vs Microservices Architecture

Microservices are an accelerating trend thanks to rousing endorsements from the likes of Google, Netflix, and Amazon. The microservice architecture is advantageous for it’s scalability, agility and flexibility. In contrast, the monolithic approach is the traditional tried-and-true model for building software. It’s much easier to debug and test. But how do you know which approach is best for your organization?

How to Make a Build vs. Buy Decision for a Software Solution

Buying software is often the answer for busy engineering teams in search of a quick solution with minimum aftercare. But while your team may be sure of the problem, how do you go about searching for a product to fix it? Far from being the 'easy option', there is a lot you need to consider before you invest in a bought solution – user experience, cost comparisons, and support features to name a few. Let’s explore some of the considerations when making a good decision.

Low-Risk Releases

The latest video in the Rollbar Solutions series, Low-Risk Releases, shows how Rollbar can be used to improve the release process for DevOps teams. Traditionally, releasing software has been a pain point for these teams; code changes made to higher environments provide opportunities for bugs to rear their ugly heads and affect customers directly. Rollbar's real-time monitoring and intelligence solutions help you find and fix these issues more quickly and effectively, reducing MTTA/MTTR metrics and thus the overall customer impact of these issues.
