Background on Bugsnag

Bugsnag is a commercial product that allows you to get a real time view of the bugs in your Ruby on Rails application. You can get notifications of your bugs and full bug reports right as the bugs happen. Bugsnag has a number of interesting features including helping you determine which of the bugs have highest priority, easy bug grouping and management, and integration with a number of project management tools such as Jira and others. The basic plan starts at $29.99 so if you have an engineering department and live Ruby code, it is a small price to pay to get access to this powerful tool.
