Did this actually lead to better error handling? I'd be worried that it leads to silent idioms of "catch-and-drop" to silence the Slack blow up

There is a risk with it that you just ignore it. We always put it into a separate room for dev staging and prod. So, what will often happen is you might start to see more errors occurring once you push to staging and your tests are running. It doesn't replace tests and the like, and isn't a cure all in terms of how to handle errors, but I have found it pretty helpful. Especially with serverless, because observability is one of the hardest parts of this paradigm.
