In this episode, we sit with Brian Rue, the CEO and co-founder of Rollbar. They discuss Rollbar’s continuous code improvement platform, which uses AI to help developers proactively discover, predict, and fix errors in their code. Brian shares his background in coding and how his experience in building social games on Facebook led him to start Rollbar. He explains the evolution of their error monitoring solution and how they incorporated AI to provide accurate alerts and signals to developers. They also discuss the impact of AI on developer productivity and the value proposition of Rollbar’s AI-driven solution.
The introduction of AI into Rollbar’s error monitoring solution revolutionized the process. By leveraging AI, Rollbar could accurately identify and group errors, saving developers from sifting through millions of error reports. The AI solution incorporated domain-specific knowledge and inferred patterns based on data, enabling developers to focus on the most critical issues. This automation not only improved the accuracy of error detection but also allowed developers to respond faster to issues, leading to increased efficiency and productivity.
