If you're building a Rails app, you should be using Skylight. It gives you:

1. What's slow.

2. What's hit frequently.

This combined gives their "agony" ranking for you to fix problems that impact the most. In a very clean UI!

Terrific product. I wish I had Skylight for my Phoenix/Elixir stack.

https://www.appsignal.com has a great product, and works for Elixir / Phoenix too.

It also supports, profiling background jobs.

I wish they added freebsd support :(

Edit: wow, looks like they added[0] a few months ago! Awesome

Yeah we're using AppSignal, I do kind of miss Skylight's "agony" metric though.

Funny enough: also Rust production users.

[artellectual]

Indeed, rust is amazing. Much thx to the likes of you for putting in those hours.

Does it build up a performance profile over time? As in, do you need to serve thousands of requests before you get a picture?

[deedubaya]

No. It starts showing results after a few requests.

Do you find it significantly better than NewRelic?

[booleanbetrayal]

NewRelic is much more comprehensive (they also have a "profiling" feature), but you rarely, if ever, find yourself needing any of the additional features. For the price, it's hard to beat Skylight. Also, we've found pganalyze to be an amazing bang for the buck.

[desireco42]

That is debatable, insight NewRelic offers is kind of complementary. However at the price that is way, way, more.

[sergiotapia]

Absolutely better.
