Most of the applications we see for the ELK stack are from businesses which want to improve their customers' experience. To return relevant search results and to create Kibana dashboards that allow them to analyse data and give the customers what they want.

By combining custom errors, named functions and Bugfender, you can create a robust error-handling process that allows you to immediately identify the defects of your JavaScript apps. Unhandled JavaScript errors will stop the execution of your script, leaving the application in an undesired state – or, even worse, in an unknown state. So you need a robust error-handling process to avoid unknown errors in your apps. But, why are errors thrown anyway?

Stay tuned for improvements to Intelligent Document Processing, DevOps capabilities, and UI improvements. Information lives in silos across the enterprise, causing inefficiencies and delays for your workforce. Records can provide that single-pane-of-glass view that users look for.
