We’ve got a big update about to launch for Ignore rules, but we still had some time to improve the little things last month. Here are all the things we launched:

Do you work with an app that’s a dumpster-fire of errors? Wishing for an appropriate alert when you need to fight down the flames? Look no further friend. Today, we’re creating a Dumpster fire notification for your JavaScript errors with Particle and TrackJS.

Today, we’re releasing TrackJS Global Error Statistics to the public. This aggregated production data is a useful measure of the state of client-side JavaScript errors and the quality of the web. We break it down by the most common errors, browsers, and operating systems.

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.
