This is a short piece highlighting how open source and enhanced open source software like GroundWork and others (we can use big examples like Atlassian and Cloudera) are now taken as mainstream components for many company toolsets. There is a concept in selling products that are “sticky,” or that are not easily or cost-effectively changed out.
The world of web development is always shifting and changing. This is especially true when it comes to WordPress and PHP as well. So how do web development companies remain ahead of the curve? By monitoring WordPress and PHP developments closely, of course.
We built Versions for customers who are adopting software development practices like Continuous Delivery. One important habit to cultivate when you're seeking to adopt Continuous Delivery is to deploy early and often. This is easier to do when you have a tool like Rollbar that allows you to see all production errors instantly and quickly prioritize and debug them as needed. With Versions, we're making it even easier for you to use Rollbar to monitor errors from code revisions you've just deployed.
Last week we released version 4.0.0 of the honeybadger Ruby gem. This release includes a long-awaited feature which makes it even easier to customize your error reports before they are sent to Honeybadger. We also did some much-needed refactoring, and made a few removals and deprecations for good measure. Don't worry, though—most of the API remains unchanged, so upgrading should be a relatively painless process for most users.
Think about the last time you or someone at your company found an error or technical issue with a critical system at work. Did you know immediately how to report that issue? Did you know who on the team was the right person to communicate the issue to? Often, employees have no idea how to answer these questions. They lack context and access to the right tools to take action themselves.
In mobile apps, it’s important to monitor errors so you can understand your user’s experience. Your team should know quickly when there are problems with the app itself or your backend services so you can fix the issue before more customers are affected. We’ll show you how to handle errors in iOS apps. We’ll then show you how Rollbar error monitoring can give you better visibility into errors and help you troubleshoot them faster.
Increasingly more software teams - ourselves and our customers included - are adopting practices like microservices and/or Continuous Delivery. We built the All Items View to make error monitoring much easier for those using Rollbar in such ways.
Accountability is an important part of the work IT professionals do, especially when it comes to security and outages. A minor change by a single tech or engineer can crash entire systems, and it’s sometimes crucial to question that person on their methods and changes to determine a solution. Accountability is especially important when several people are regularly using the same tool.

StatusGator is built on Ruby on Rails, a popular choice for rapid web application development for more than a decade. One of the many benefits of Rails is its rich ecosystem of open source gems which can provide massive value quickly. We discovered one such gem, Ahoy, on our recent quest to understand how our users find out about StatusGator.
