In today's world, even a single application error could have significant consequences for both businesses and individual developers. From lost revenue and damaged reputation to disrupted services and frustrated customers, the cost of not addressing bugs in your code can be quite high.

Railtown.ai helps you gather the information you need to efficiently resolve an error, but by combining our application with other tools can take your developer workflow to the next level. So today, we’d like to go through 2 popular tools that we recommend for expanding your team’s capabilities: New Relic and Azure Application Insights.

Too many software development teams treat error logging as a burden rather than a chance to grow.That’s why Jeli’s “Howie: Post-Incident Guide” felt like a breath of fresh air. In the guide, Jeli’s team notes that negative treatment of bugs is everywhere, including the language we use to describe software development. Terms like “post-mortem” and “root-cause analysis” speak for themselves.We’d like to build on the suggestions put forward in Howie and share our perspective on error logging as well. So let’s take a look at how a small mindset shift around debugging could encourage more positive moments in your team.

Railtown is happy to announce that root cause discovery is now available for teams that run on NodeJS.

While .NET is one of the most loved frameworks according to Stack Overflow Developer Survey for 2021, that popularity can bring issues for .NET error logging. There are “hundreds of thousands” of .NET packages available on NuGet, so developers can end up with an overwhelming tech stack to simply analyze .NET performance and monitor errors. How can you efficiently debug your code even as it scales up with all the third-party libraries you might use and their associated configurations? One simple but commonly overlooked answer: logging.

Logging is the practice of recording the alerts and messages that you get about the state of your code. As your application may run into inefficiencies, errors, or even crash, you can save the associated messages together with all the relevant context. In this guide, we will go through JavaScript error logging across the multiple categories.
