About Bugsnag

Bugsnag is an error monitoring platform that automatically detects and reports JavaScript errors across browsers and Node.js applications.

Bugsnag captures unhandled exceptions and crashes in JavaScript applications, surfacing them with diagnostic context so developers can identify, prioritize, and fix bugs. It supports front-end and back-end JavaScript environments, with integrations for frameworks including React, Vue, Angular, Express, Restify, and Koa. It is aimed at development and engineering teams who need visibility into errors occurring in production.

Where to start

Developers typically sign up for a Bugsnag account, create a project to obtain an API key, then install the appropriate Bugsnag notifier package for their environment (browser, Node.js, or a specific framework). Configuration requires initializing the client with the API key early in the application lifecycle.
