It’s remarkable to me how many developers have no idea what their time is worth. I speak with a lot of developers, and when I mention my work on TrackJS, I frequently hear “I could build that”. Yeah, you could. Observability tools aren’t rocket science. But you shouldn’t. Your time is too valuable to build better mousetraps.

The TrackJS team was hard at working pushing out new features and improving UI responsiveness. Here are all the things we launched:

We store all of our JavaScript error data in a large Elasticsearch cluster. This lets our customers slice and dice their error data in realtime, and perform full text searches over it. We push Elasticsearch to its limit, and we recently started querying more data for some of our core pages. We noticed that a certain set of our customers started experiencing unacceptably slow page response times. This is how we tracked down the problem and fixed it.

While looking into an issue with Microsoft Edge and the Facebook sdk a few weeks ago, we ran into a very common error: Cannot read property ‘length’ of undefined. In fact, this is the 6th most common error, affecting nearly 28% of accounts.

TrackJS gives your team visibility into how websites behave in production and the tools to understand bugs quickly. You can track your error rate over time and measure your progress. But how does your site quality compared to everyone else?

Announcing a new kind of notification from TrackJS, the Weekly Site Quality Benchmark.

We’re a bit light on features this month because we’re working on a new site quality report. More on that next month. In the meantime, we have some helpful additions:
