TrackJS is a real-time error tracking system that gathers events from millions of concurrent web sessions. From humble beginnings on a single server, to our ElasticSearch cluster today, we've learned a lot about throughput, performance, and reporting along the way. I'll share our journey as a company that led to ElasticSearch, how we started, and how we use it today.
TrackJS is a JavaScript error reporting service for modern web applications. We can show you the errors your customers encounter in production. We track how the user interacted with your app, the network requests made, and how the application state changes. It's kinda like an airplane's BlackBox for your webapp.
