As developers, we know that debugging can be a time-consuming process. Hunting down elusive bugs or trying to reproduce an issue based on vague user reports can turn a simple fix into an hours-long journey. While leveraging logs, metrics, and tracing to reproduce locally or try to understand what happened can help us identify a root case, we’re often missing a critical component to truly being able to understand the impact on our users.

Given that 100% of the databases I have interacted with in my professional career have been SQL databases, my data-based mental model (please enjoy my pun) has always defaulted to a relational one. However, when spinning up a tiny side project in 2020 (a bot to provide interactivity to my Twitch stream), my data-storing requirements didn’t call for a relational model at the time, so I chose a NoSQL solution: MongoDB.

This is a guest post from Simon Grimm, creator of Galaxies.dev, where Simon helps developers learn React Native through fast-paced courses and personal support. Debugging React Native apps has traditionally been a bit of a pain. Developers usually ranked debugging as their biggest pain point of React Native, which, as we all know, makes up quite a lot of development time. But the good news is that things are getting better.

TTFB (Time to First Byte) is a commonly used metric that measures the duration between a client's HTTP request and the receipt of the first byte of the server's response. A lower TTFB means a more responsive server and faster page load times. In the past few years in the web dev world, we’ve seen a significant push towards rendering our websites on the server. Doing so is better for SEO and performs better on low-powered devices, but one thing we had to sacrifice is TTFB.

We’re expanding beyond just code coverage and added a suite of new capabilities to help you break production less: AI PR Review, AI Test Generation, Test Analytics, and Bundle Analysis.
