JavaScript breaks sometimes. Even the code you write. You need to know when things start crashing in production.
TrackJS Error Monitoring for JavaScript quickly integrates with your front-end or node application, regardless of framework, so you know when a bug gets out. TrackJS installs in minutes, and you get context about what the user, network, and application were doing before an error. It's like having an airplane's blackbox in your UI, so you can find, recreate, and fix problems fast.
TrackJS is an engineer-owned cloud service that will make your JavaScript better and your website more reliable. Try it free at TrackJS.com.
