100 users. 101 Prisma queries. 15ms locally, 3 seconds in production. The code looks correct because each query is intentional. Prisma just doesn't warn you when it's inside a .map(). scoutapm.com/blog/nodejs-n1-…
NestJS is not Express with extra steps. Dependency injection, service layers, and exception filters all obscure where time is spent. Practical guide to what actually matters when monitoring NestJS in production. scoutapm.com/blog/monitoring…
A forgotten .catch() crashes your Node.js worker. The process manager respawns it in 200ms. Your uptime monitor never triggers. Your logs show nothing. Five error monitoring tools compared. scoutapm.com/blog/best-error…
We shipped Node.js support. Express, NestJS, Prisma with N 1 detection, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis. Same errors-and-traces setup our Ruby and Python teams already use. Free tier, no credit card. scoutapm.com/blog/announcing…
We put six Node.js APMs through real Express and NestJS workloads. Datadog is overkill for small teams. New Relic's free tier is great until you need a second user. Here's where each one fits. scoutapm.com/blog/best-nodej…
A NoMethodError on line 47 tells you nothing about why a Sidekiq job only fails on records created after Thursday's migration. Rails teams need error context tied to performance data. We compared six tools. scoutapm.com/blog/best-error…
Django's ORM swallows errors in template rendering. FastAPI's async handlers mask exceptions. These are everyday Python behaviors that make picking the right error monitoring tool matter. We compared six. scoutapm.com/blog/python-err…
No SRE. No platform team. Your "monitoring strategy" is someone checking Slack. We compared six APMs for teams of 2-20 engineers who got handed the monitoring task on top of feature work. scoutapm.com/blog/best-apm-f…
AcuBliss had a slow endpoint doing 418 SQL queries. Claude Code Scout MCP found the root cause in under 3 minutes: three N 1 patterns buried in a serializer. Here's how a 2-person team debugs like a 20-person team. scoutapm.com/blog/acubliss-c…#APM#DevTools
AI can scaffold and ship an app in a weekend. It does not know the Eloquent query it wrote loads 10,000 records without pagination. Monitoring is critical path, not nice-to-have. scoutapm.com/blog/ai-built-a…#AIDev#Monitoring
If your developers are also your SRE team, most APM tools were not built for you. We compared Scout, Sentry, Honeybadger, AppSignal, New Relic, and Datadog for teams of 2-20. scoutapm.com/blog/best-apm-f…#APM#DevTools
Best Sentry Alternatives in 2026. AI agents need monitoring data they can act on, not dashboards they can look at. Developer-centric tools are agent-centric tools. scoutapm.com/blog/sentry-alt…#Sentry#APM#AIDev
Best Error Monitoring Tools in 2026. When AI agents can read errors via MCP and fix them without human triage, monitoring becomes part of the dev loop, not just alerting. scoutapm.com/blog/best-error…#ErrorMonitoring#APM
We migrated our marketing site off a modern CMS platform to a file-based Git workflow. SEO results have been overwhelmingly better. Pages are faster, AI can edit them, and nobody is fighting combo class overrides at midnight. For small teams, Git won.
Production apps touch a database, a cache layer, and several third-party APIs on every request. AI traffic is making that even less predictable. When something breaks, guessing is not a strategy. scoutapm.com/blog/applicatio…
We rewrote our APM metrics guide for 2026. Now covers 9 metrics instead of 7, adding logs and N 1 queries as first-class sections. Also covers how to pipe trace data into AI assistants via MCP for faster diagnosis. scoutapm.com/blog/applicatio…
We wrote about how support works at Scout. No chatbots, no ticket deflection. Real people who built the product answer your questions. AI handles the research on our side so we can skip "can you send a screenshot?" and get straight to helping. scoutapm.com/blog/how-we-do-…
