Description

Why do we need error logging service?

  • currrently if we get any 500 error or anything like that, we have to spend a lot of time in figuring out the solution for it, these things can debugged easily if we have a error logging service in our backend which logs these errors and we can easily find the issues and fix them
  • Following are the pricing of some of the alternatives that we can use in our backend
