Exploring Effective Logging and Middleware Practices

In this Hasty Treat, Scott and Wes talk about the reasons why you should log errors, how it’s not just for debugging, where to save logs, and apps and packages to help with logging.

If you want to know what’s happening with your code, track errors and monitor performance with Sentry. Sentry’s Application Monitoring platform helps developers see performance issues, fix errors faster, and optimize their code health. Cut your time on error resolution from hours to minutes. It works with any language and integrates with dozens of other services.
