About AppSignal
What is AppSignal?
AppSignal is a unified application performance monitoring (APM) platform that combines error tracking, performance monitoring, logging, and distributed tracing into one interface. It helps developers quickly identify and resolve issues in their applications, from the first deploy to large-scale production systems.
Who is it for?
AppSignal is built for developers and engineering teams who need a reliable, low-noise monitoring solution. It's ideal for startups, side projects (with a generous free plan), and growing teams that want to avoid expensive, fragmented monitoring stacks. It's not designed for non-technical stakeholders or teams that need heavy business analytics dashboards.
Key use cases
Catch exceptions before users do with grouped error tracking. Identify slow database queries and N+1 queries with automatic performance monitoring. Search logs without SSH, trace requests end-to-end across services, and create custom metrics dashboards. Used by teams at all stages to reduce downtime and debug faster.
Key features
- Error Tracking — Every exception grouped by pattern, with backtrace and deploy info, so you see trends not noise.
- Performance Monitoring — Automatic response times, throughput and slow query detection from first deploy.
- Distributed Tracing — End-to-end request tracing across services to find bottlenecks.
- Log Search & Filter — Full-text search across logs with attribute filters, no SSH needed.
- Custom Metrics & Dashboards — Send any metric; dashboards auto-build and can be customized.
- Anomaly Detection — Smart alerts on metrics with warmup/cooldown periods.
- Uptime Monitoring — Free public status page with ping from four locations and downtime alerts.
