Airbrake, an award-winning, developer-centric application error and performance monitoring product that is part of LogicMonitor’s unified observability portfolio, today published a new research report titled The 2022 Airbrake Error Data Report. The report reveals common software error trends associated with specific programming languages and is based on nearly 2 billion errors from 12,375 Airbrake projects over the past year. Research firm IDC predicts that by 2025, nearly two-thirds of enterprises will be prolific software producers — with code deployed daily and over 90% of new apps developed as cloud native. Airbrake’s new report offers insight into error patterns that can impact developer efficiency and quality and offers suggestions on best practices enterprises can adopt to improve the quality of their applications and boost end user satisfaction.

“Since 2009, Airbrake has provided tens of thousands of developers with insights into how their code is behaving and failing in production”

“Since 2009, Airbrake has provided tens of thousands of developers with insights into how their code is behaving and failing in production,” said Goran Sandahl, Growth Director, Airbrake. “We are excited to share the patterns we have witnessed over the years in this new data-based error report. With today’s continued focus on no-code tools and new computing paradigms like web3, it is obvious that most code is yet to be written. This means it is important that we as a community continue to highlight best practices and insights like the ones exposed in this report, and help every developer adopt monitoring as early as possible in their project lifecycles.”
