2016 Year-in-Review

We've pushed a lot of features this year at Scout. Here's a look back at what we've added to app monitoring in 2016:

• February
  • Completed a significant effort reducing our agent resource usage and open-sourced our agent overhead benchmarks.
• April
  • Sidekiq monitoring
  • Backtraces for N+1 queries (background on how we did it).

• June
  • A significant update to the UI and the agent: more traces, more variety in traces, 95th percentiles, and more.
• August
  • Memory bloat detection and wrote a chapter in our book on finding and fixing memory bloat.
  • ScoutProf, our production-safe profiler for custom Ruby code.
• September
  • DevTrace, our free Rails profiler
  • Heroku Addon
• October
  • GitHub-Enhanced Deploy Tracking
  • DelayedJob Monitoring
• November
  • We significantly improved the performance of our own UI, decreasing chart load times by as much as 7X.
• December
  • Announced the soon-to-be-released Performance Digest Email

Thanks for your support! We're excited to continue our Master Plan in 2017.
