    text
    <p>It's important to collect and manage exceptions in your web application since it's unfortunately unavoidable. I used to use <a href="https://github.com/smartinez87/exception_notification" rel="noreferrer">Exception Notifier</a> but eventually I ended up using web-based service/tool for that purpose. <a href="http://airbrake.io/" rel="noreferrer">AirBrake</a>(formerly known as Hoptoad) is great but <a href="http://robots.thoughtbot.com/post/17212734809/airbrake-acquired-by-exceptional" rel="noreferrer">they got acquired by Exceptional</a> so they might shut down one of the two services(they haven't officially announced anything about shutting down though). There are also several open source projects for exception managing.</p> <p>Here is a list of services/tools for tracking exceptions.</p> <ul> <li><strong><a href="http://airbrake.io/" rel="noreferrer">AirBrake</a></strong>: great exception managing service that has been acquired by Exceptional.</li> <li><strong><a href="http://www.exceptional.io/" rel="noreferrer">Exceptional</a></strong>: another exception managing service that costs $9/month.</li> <li><strong><a href="https://github.com/errbit/errbit" rel="noreferrer">errbit</a></strong>: open source error catcher that's Airbrake API compliant.</li> </ul> <p>Now you will come up with an interesting question: <strong>What service/tool should I use?</strong> </p> <p>If I choose AirBrake/Exceptional I should care about their intention and consider moving collected data if shutting down really happens. errbit needs to be deployed somewhere and we should manage the deployed errbit itself. <a href="http://newrelic.com/" rel="noreferrer">New Relic</a> and <a href="http://amon.cx/" rel="noreferrer">Amon</a> can track them but these two are not as functional as the others. In this case, which one do you choose?</p> <p>There is also this kind of services for other platforms(eg: <a href="http://www.bugsense.com/" rel="noreferrer">bugsense</a> for mobile platforms). But in this question just focus on rails apps. </p>
