Dash and Merb

February 25 2009, 11:37am

One of the great things about Dash is its flexibility. This flexibility allows us to instrument app frameworks pretty quickly, and with the way our support for custom recipes is designed, it’s simple to mix-and-match metrics to get a better view of what’s going on with your application—in terms of its performance and business goals.

It was easy to get Dash working with Merb 1.0.x, and we’d like to announce our support for the framework, to include:

Drop-in, simple installation similar to our Rails installation process Support for auto-adding our recipes for ActiveRecord or DataMapper (anyone want Sequel? Let us know!) Full-support for your own custom metric recipes and reports, as usual Identifying slow/frequent actions to target for performance fixes Smart exception capturing and notification via Twitter, Campfire, and Email Deployment tracking (with special support to link to GitHub to view the commit), notification via Twitter, Campfire, and Email

This is just the beginning.

As with the rest of our Dash instrumentation, the fiveruns-dash-merb gem is made available via GitHub under an MIT-style license. Community contributions are welcomed!
