If you're building a Rails app, you should be using Skylight. It gives you:
1. What's slow.
2. What's hit frequently.
This combined gives their "agony" ranking for you to fix problems that impact the most. In a very clean UI!
Terrific product. I wish I had Skylight for my Phoenix/Elixir stack.
- igravious 9y agoDoes it build up a performance profile over time? As in, do you need to serve thousands of requests before you get a picture?
- deedubaya 9y agoNo. It starts showing results after a few requests.
- ksylvest 9y agoDo you find it significantly better than NewRelic?
- sergiotapia 9y agoAbsolutely better.
- desireco42 9y agoThat is debatable, insight NewRelic offers is kind of complementary. However at the price that is way, way, more.
- booleanbetrayal 9y agoNewRelic is much more comprehensive (they also have a "profiling" feature), but you rarely, if ever, find yourself needing any of the additional features. For the price, it's hard to beat Skylight. Also, we've found pganalyze to be an amazing bang for the buck.
- artellectual 9y agohttps://www.appsignal.com https://www.appsignal.com has a great product, and works for Elixir / Phoenix too. It also supports, profiling background jobs.
- steveklabnik 9y agoFunny enough: also Rust production users.
- artellectual 9y agoIndeed, rust is amazing. Much thx to the likes of you for putting in those hours.
- sergiotapia 9y agoYeah we're using AppSignal, I do kind of miss Skylight's "agony" metric though.
- napsterbr 9y agoI wish they added freebsd support :( Edit: wow, looks like they added[0] a few months ago! Awesome 0 - https://docs.appsignal.com/support/operating-systems.html#freebsd https://docs.appsignal.com/support/operating-systems.html#fr...
