At first we relied on basic logs and user reports, but it felt like flying blind. That’s when we decided to use a dedicated error monitoring platform. I personally went with BugSnag Discount as part of our stack. What helped immediately was real-time error detection combined with detailed diagnostics, like full stack traces and breadcrumbs showing what the user did before the crash. Instead of guessing, we could see patterns. The stability score feature was surprisingly motivating because it gave us a simple metric to watch after each release. We also integrated it with Jira and Slack so critical issues automatically created tickets and pinged the right channel, which reduced the “who’s handling this?” confusion. Another big win was performance monitoring since not all problems are hard crashes; sometimes it’s just slow screens or memory spikes.
