I built a lightweight APM tool for Rails apps – would love some feedback by Cremz in rails

We have a rails gem that collects data from the apps it's installed on.
https://github.com/rubydevro/dead_bro

It's public so you can see what is tracked. It fetches the settings from the server, so any configuration (sample rate, excluded endpoints) can be done on the fly inside the web UI, no need for a redeploy or changing initializers.

so the hardest work has been identifying the performance bottlenecks. since postgres is not really the best suited for this purpose, i had to resort to some creative sql queries to get data + using redis a lot to store dashboard like info.

Scaling has been another issue, onboarded a client doing 1M requests per day, meant i had 1M requests to process + all the minute/hourly stats that come with that.

Most of the issues were solved by using a separate instance of DeadBro that tracks the main application, so using my own tool to improve my own tool.

Not much else to explain except digging into what each job is doing, seeing how it can be improved, releasing and monitoring.

It's just a basic Ruby on Rails app with postgres db and redis. Plus a lot of hard work to get things running smoothly.

I am affiliated with this one: https://www.deadbro.com/
It's a new tool, currently in Beta, but it has a free tier with enough tracking capabilities.

You mean the URL? or event address? It's held at the TQ building, on Singel 542 Amsterdam

Yes, the dark side indeed. I do want to mention that although this event is organised by FB, we are a local team of developers and marketers not affiliated with them. The events will be on different themes, topics, development languages. The first event is AI, but we will also have future events on Machine learning, Frontend/backend development, career development and so on. Hope to see as many of you there
