Log management services aggregate all of your logs, so that you can decide for yourself what constitutes a problem.

Brian Rue from Rollbar joins the show today to talk about Rollbar’s exception monitoring architecture, and the competitive landscape of these technology products. Every software engineer wants track the problems with an application, but some developers need more information than others–and that ends up changing how these error aggregation services are architected.
