Opinions on Different Error Monitoring Systems

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/devops

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • self-hosted

    Sentry, feature-complete and packaged up for low-volume deployments and proofs-of-concept

  • First, are they in a competition to see if they can use every technology known to humanity? Unless those things never require any maintenance or debugging or blowing out disks, the more moving parts the more the risk of the error capture system needing an error capture system

  • Sentry

    Developer-first error tracking and performance monitoring

  • Second, and closely related to the first, I'm a kubernetes shop, so I'd have to port, and then maintain, their compose file over to a k8s setup, taking responsibility for understanding which parts I can horizontally scale vs not. Compare to the old way: RMQ (bleh, but fine lots of people use it), PG, and one container. I was still responsible for making the Deployment for it, but one versus "tens" of them matters

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • integrations-core

    Core integrations of the Datadog Agent

  • Good, tell them to fix their fucking agent to stop spamming my logs with their python backtrace. I mean, seriously, who logs a backtrace for a simple connection refused when it's going to poll that endpoint every minute or whatever?
