We'll also have to look into this soon. Heard good things about Datadog too.
Markdown is the most popular way to format plain text. Add common characters like asterisks and dashes to text, much like how you might format a quick store list in your notes app or add emphasis ...
Or do you use the Linux subsytem in Windows, emulation tools like DosBOX and WINE, or mobile device emulator/simulators? What's your favorite ways you've used virtual machines and emulation?
Thanks for the tip - I looked into Datadog but it seems their main focus is logs, even though they do have an APM.
One other thing I noticed is that Newrelic has a really nice integration with ruby - they have a gem which is really easy to install.
Datadog has an agent which is installed as an executable (their ruby gem is just a client that relies on the agent as the server). So datadog requires quite a bit more devops work when using a stack like ElasticBeanstalk.
In the end, I went with Newrelic... for now 🙂
