https://www.appsignal.com has a great product, and works for Elixir / Phoenix too. It also supports, profiling background jobs.

Funny enough: also Rust production users.

Indeed, rust is amazing. Much thx to the likes of you for putting in those hours.

If you're building a Rails app, you should be using Skylight. It gives you: 1. What's slow. 2. What's hit frequently. This combined gives their "agony" ranking for you to fix problems that impact the most. In a very clean UI! Terrific product. I wish I had Skylight for my Phoenix/Elixir stack.

Yeah we're using AppSignal, I do kind of miss Skylight's "agony" metric though.

Do you code in Ruby any more or is it all Rust these days? If you had to build a web app what would you use?

I split my time between Ruby, JavaScript (mostly with TypeScript) and Rust, with occasional Java and devops work. Of those, JavaScript (with TypeScript) is my predominant language at the moment, but the mix changes pretty often. Skylight's stack is Rust and Ruby for the agent, Rails for the backend, Java for our data processing pipeline (essentially a custom data store) and Ember for virtually the entire front end. T…

Interesting. I see, thanks. From your list Ember stands out, was not expecting that. Rails and Ember integration looks painful? Maybe using Rails 5 and API mode is the way to go.
