Overview

Rollbar is a cloud-based error monitoring platform that captures, groups, and alerts on application errors in real time across web, mobile, and server-side code. It uses machine-learning-based grouping to cut alert noise and provides full stack traces, deploy tracking, and telemetry to help developers find and fix bugs before users are affected. It supports a broad range of languages and frameworks including JavaScript, Python, Ruby, PHP, .NET, Java, and Go.

The problem Rollbar solves

Development teams shipping across many languages often learn about production bugs from user complaints, with exceptions scattered across logs and no single place to triage them. Rollbar solves this by capturing errors in real time, grouping them with machine learning to cut noise, and routing alerts into Slack, Jira, and PagerDuty so developers catch and fix issues before customers are affected. It fits multi-language teams that want error visibility without stitching together their own logging and alerting.
