Integrating error monitoring tools
When we develop an application, developers will try to handle all the corner cases and write as much error-free code as possible. But, somehow, a few corner cases will be missed. A few errors will always slip by, and users will see occasional errors while using the service. These application errors are occasional, but it’s important to address them to have a stable application. While working on a local development setup, these errors can be easily detected in the terminal. But when we move to production, it becomes difficult to detect these errors. A lot of beginners still use logs to detect raised exceptions. Error monitoring tools are lifelines to detect any production exceptions raised.
Tools such as Sentry, Rollbar, BugSnag, and so on are error/exception monitoring tools that help us track and fix exceptions raised in production. In this chapter, we shall use Rollbar (https://rollbar.com/) and integrate it into our Django project.
