Monitoring

2 Min. reading time Komplexe App-Funktionalitäten

Monitoring is the continuous oversight of digital applications—to determine whether everything is running as intended. It provides data on availability, performance, errors, and user behavior, making it essential for reliable, scalable software. At piparo, we rely on modern monitoring for apps, web platforms, APIs, and infrastructure—integrated into every project, automated, and traceable.

💡 Why Monitoring Is Indispensable

“It works on my device” isn’t enough in production. As soon as your app or platform goes live, you need insights into how it behaves under real-world conditions: How fast does the app load? Are there errors? Who’s using which features? Only with monitoring can you detect errors early, avoid bottlenecks, and keep users satisfied.

🛠️ How We Implement Monitoring

  • Sentry for error tracking (JavaScript, React Native, Web, Backend)
  • Log-based monitoring with Logtail, CloudWatch, or self-hosted ELK
  • Performance monitoring via Web Vitals, React Profiler, or native traces
  • API and server monitoring via UptimeRobot, Pingdom, Statuscake, or Prometheus
  • Metrics Collection & Dashboards, e.g., with Grafana + Loki/Prometheus
  • Integration into CI/CD pipelines: Monitoring is automatically updated with every release

✅ Benefits for You as a Customer

  • Fast error detection & automatic alerts (e.g., via email, Slack, Opsgenie)
  • Transparency regarding user behavior & technical stability
  • Objective data for improving UX and performance
  • Preparation for audits, SLAs, or quality requirements
  • Full compatibility with cloud and self-hosting scenarios

🔐 What exactly is monitored?

  • App errors (exceptions, crashes, network errors)
  • API response times & availability
  • Backend error codes & logs
  • Memory/CPU usage for self-hosting
  • App usage: launch times, load times, navigation
  • Custom events for business goals, if applicable (e.g., “Form submitted”)

❓ FAQs on Monitoring

Is this integrated into your projects by default? Yes—we always set up basic monitoring, such as error tracking with Sentry. Upon request, we can build advanced dashboards, metrics, or custom log servers. What tools do you use? Depending on the project size:

  • Smaller projects → Sentry + UptimeRobot
  • Medium-sized projects → + logging with Logtail or Supabase Logs
  • Enterprise projects → Prometheus + Grafana, self-hosted monitoring, K8s integration Is this GDPR-compliant? Yes—we take care not to collect any personal data or to anonymize it. Our monitoring strategies are auditable and privacy-friendly. Can I access the monitoring myself? Yes—you’ll have access to dashboards, logs, or error-tracking tools, depending on the setup. Alternatively, we provide regular reports or alerts.
