Best Practices for Client-Side Logging and Error Handling in React

March 21, 2019

Logging is an essential part of development. While working on React projects, logging provides a way to get feedback and information about what’s happening within the running code. However, once an app or website is deployed into production, the default console provides no way to continue benefiting from logs. Since these logs are client-side, all errors experienced by users will be lost in their own browsers. This means that the only way we can find out about errors in our application is by user reports, which often don’t happen; many users will simply leave rather than filling out a bug report.

Five Best Practices for Proactive Database Performance Monitoring

February 1, 2019

Database monitoring is a critical part of any application’s maintenance. Finding database issues in time can help the application remain healthy and accessible. Without solid monitoring in place, database outages can go unnoticed until it’s too late and the business is losing money and customers.

Proactive monitoring seeks to identify any issues before they become major problems.

Five Tips for Monitoring Your SaaS

January 24, 2019

Page load time is inversely related to page views and conversion rates. While probably not a controversial statement, as the causality is intuitive, there is empirical data from industry leaders such as Amazon, Google, and Bing to back it in High Scalability and O’Reilly’s Radar, for example. As web technology has become much more complex over the last decade, the issue of performance has remained a challenge as it relates to user experience.

Monitor User Experience Using Client-Side JSON Logs

December 13, 2018

Logging is one of the most useful tools available for developers. It allows them to view and understand the inner workings of their application, even while it’s actively running. It is absolutely essential during development; hunting down bugs and broken points in a project would be impossible without it. However, with the rise of client-side rendering and SPAs, it’s becoming common for the frontend application to handle the vast majority of the user experience.

Benchmarking 5 Popular Load Balancers: Nginx, HAProxy, Envoy, Traefik, and ALB

December 10, 2018

When choosing a load balancer to front your application’s traffic, there are several factors to consider. Achieving the right balance of features, operator usability, and performance depends on the type of software you’re running, how it’s architected, and what platform it’s running on. While often less of a concern than these other factors, it’s still important to understand the performance profiles of these load balancers under different types of load. In this article, we will test five different popular load balancers: NGINX, HAProxy, Envoy, Traefik, and Amazon Application Load Balancer (ALB).
