Code doesn’t just power apps, it powers justice. Ruby for Good + CASA are proof that volunteer devs can change lives. Full story here:

We launched something new: Scout’s MCP server! Your coding assistant can now query app data and even propose fixes. A step toward closing the loop between monitoring + development means more time to spend on what you want to be working on, less time juggling tools. Check it out: ter.li/vp7re4

Now Live: Error Monitoring in Scout Scout Monitoring is now the complete platform for developers and lean dev teams to get full visibility into performance, logs, and errors—without setting up three tools. One tool. One interface. One place to go from bug to fix — fast.

We just shipped error monitoring to GA. No more finding out your app is broken from an angry user. Get alerted when things go sideways, see exactly what happened, and fix it before your users even notice. Because reactive debugging is not a business strategy. Learn more here: buff.ly/ePgpsVA

"Scout has been a massive help in identifying bottlenecks in our application infrastructure as we scale. We’ve been able to identify memory leaks and N+1 queries to shave seconds off our most expensive queries and to improve the reliability of our site.” -Brett Kushner, COO, Don't Tell Comedy

“Scout can track and provide developers with insights for performance improvement. This helps us deliver a better experience to our users.” — Cookpad www.scoutapm.com/blog/cookpad

Making big architecture decisions? Start with your values, not the latest framework. "Choose boring tech" for parts that don't need to scale, and save the complexity for where it actually matters. buff.ly/mB6DDPF

DynaBliss, with 56k lines of code and 2,100+ components, faced performance challenges in their medical practice management platform. Scout APM improved performance with 70% faster requests and eliminated N+1 query issues. "Let's go to Scout" is now their catchphrase. Learn more: buff.ly/nBcMMsA

Chaskiq's devs were fighting N+1 queries and database bottlenecks that were invisible in local testing. New Relic showed them charts but not solutions. Scout showed them the exact code lines to fix. Result: 2x performance boost. www.scoutapm.com/blog/chaskiq...

📰 Scout mid-year news! Soon: track errors + performance in one place. Smarter grouping, triaging & alerting, GitHub integration, Slack notifications + more! Plus, a list of updates you might have missed! Full rundown here: www.scoutapm.com/blog/mid-yea...

Scout in EdTech! ForAll Systems got 3X faster average response times and 2X faster inefficient endpoint optimization in their Python applications, while also keeping their team lean. www.scoutapm.com/blog/forall-...

"ScoutAPM has been a much better experience than New Relic. It’s easy to use, uncluttered, and works smoothly with Ruby on Rails." Paritosh Piplewar, Software Engineer at Greentoe www.greentoe.com

“I wonder how much of this overestimating scale comes from that desire to be able to sleep well and spend our weekends offline?” In part 2 of our conversation with Freedom Dumlao, we dig into the persistent questions of speed, stack, and scale. www.scoutapm.com/blog/the-arc...

“Scout’s leadership and development team went out of their way to bring our volunteers up to speed in real-time. That willingness and agility was exceptional.” — Robert Sparks, IETF. Read how Scout helps orgs here:https://buff.ly/uUAv4Uk

“We are not Netflix. We do not need to scale like Netflix.” In the first part of the Scout Team's conversation with Freedom Dumlao, we dig into the real cost of microservices—and getting a grip on the loops in architectural trends. www.scoutapm.com/blog/the-arc...

As Rails apps scale, slow SQL can start to become an issue. Database logs can help, but don't show the location of the problem code. Read this post for an understanding of where the problems can start, and how Scout can send slowness packing. www.scoutapm.com/blog/rails-a...

Alert: System reporting 100% success rate. (April Fools! Check your logs, something's definitely on fire.)

History lesson: we built Scout because we were tired of APM tools that made us pay for features we didn't need. We give you the memory bloat insights you actually want, without any APM bloat.

Scout now provides both powerful monitoring and logging tools. In this post, we explore logging skills in general and see how to create readable, actionable logs for both humans *and* machines.

Hey Rubyists, Scout is built on Ruby, so of course it supports Rails, Sinatra, Sidekiq and many other Ruby web frameworks and libraries! www.scoutapm.com/ruby-monitor...
