AppSignal

What do you like best?

Adding AppSignal to our app has been crucial in getting it to scale to the level we grew to at the end of the Covid19 lockdown. Because we had to add reservations and checkins/-outs our traffic would increase at least 10-fold. With the help of error logs in AppSignal and detailed graphs of the performance of various parts of our app we were able to remove bottlenecks and end up with a reliable service.

Next to this a couple of things where AppSignal stands out:

- second to none support. It's their developers themselves show are quickly and clearly answering any questions you may have. It's hard to overstate how nice this is

- great documentation

- friendly, speedy and beautiful user interface

What do you dislike?

The only thing I'm missing at the moment is a (free) plan to use AppSignal on open source / hobby projects that don't make money. Can't blame AppSignal for this, but it would be nice to have this option.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

The main benefits:

- being able to quickly analyse and fix errors in production

- find performance bottlenecks

- graphs to show decreasing performance over time
