R6. Error tracking
What this page helps you do
Set up a simple way to collect and review app errors.
Why it matters
Logs are useful, but error tracking helps surface the failures that matter most.
You should already have
- a deployed app
Skip this page if
- you are not online yet
What to do
- pick one error tracking tool or system
- make sure key failures are captured
- avoid sending sensitive values
Recommended default
Start with one tool that shows recent production errors clearly.
Common mistakes
- capturing nothing
- capturing too much sensitive data
- not testing whether the tool actually receives events
Next step
Go to R7. Logs.

TODO for contributors: add a plain-English guide to separating “expected user mistakes” from real production errors.
