We're happy to announce that one of the popular Node.js frameworks, Sails.js, gets the love it deserves from us. And it comes in the form of a hook that will automatically trace your application.

It means tracing your application with Recap.Dev requires no code changes at all. Just install the hook and point it to your Recap.Dev server. Why would you do that? Here's an article giving you five good reasons. Basically, it helps you understand your application and how much time various operations took while serving a particular request.

Recap.Dev Now Supports Tracing Vercel Functions and Netlify Functions

Vercel and Netlify functions are some of the most popular solutions when it comes to the Jamstack backend.

In a survey conducted by O'Reilly in June 2019, 30% of the respondents named harder debugging, and 25% named observability to be the biggest challenges in adopting serverless technologies. In the same report, about 17% mentioned a lack of tools. It's not always easy to debug serverless applications.

If you're using Vercel or Netlify functions, it's even more challenging because there are even fewer tools available. No tracing tool supports these serverless platforms out of the box.

That's why we just released a new 1.12.0 version of the Recap.Dev JavaScript client, which exports two new wrapper functions: wrapNetlifyHandler and wrapVercelHandler. This allows tracing the Netlify Functions and the Vercel Functions serverless providers, respectively.

Function Level Tracing with TypeScript Transformer

We just released a new recap.dev TypeScript transformer which will automatically wrap your functions and classes with the function-level tracing.

This provides a better alternative for the projects that are compiled with the TypeScript compiler or the ts-loader for Webpack, eliminating the need for Babel.

Adding recap.dev to your application won't take more than 5 minutes.

We just released a new 1.9.0 version of the recap.dev JavaScript client which exports a new wrapNestJsModule function. Which when used like this:

import { NestFactory } from '@nestjs/core';
import { wrapNestJsModule } from '@recap.dev/client';
const app = await NestFactory.create(wrapNestJsModule(AppModule));

will record calls and their timings of the controllers and injectables in the NestJS module.
