This looks pretty cool. I've been searching for a logging solution so the timing is great! How is this different from something like Datadog?

@landland, great question! Datadog stores aggregates (time unit summarizations) of your data instead of individual events. The caveat is that aggregates sacrifice detail for efficiency, which is great for detecting trends but can discard the very data needed to resolve problems! Timber is the inverse, storing every event with context and structured data. Aggregates are then derived from this data. This way, when you identify a problem, you'll have the ability to zoom in and obtain the detail necessary to resolve it. Also, Timber and Datadog are not mutually exclusive. We have customers that happily use both. Timber's structured data makes it easy to jump from a Datadog graph into the actual log events. I hope that helps. Happy to answer any other questions. PS - We're working on graphs and dashboards ;)

Coming from a heavy Loggly user, this is an amazing execution. Makes cloud logging super straight-forward along with powerful filtering options. I'll keep playing with it some more, but so far it looks very solid.

Pros:

Beautiful interface, seamless installation, responsive support.

Cons:

I just found it out

Hey PH! This has been a long time coming, but we're incredibly excited to be releasing Timber to the community today. Logging has always been a major headache for us as developers, and we've been obsessed with creating an unparalleled developer experience that makes setting them up a breeze. Timber's simple drop in packages for Ruby, Elixir and Node can be set up with one command, and automatically format, structure and ship your logs to the service. They also add additional context along the way like the current user, HTTP request information, exceptions, and much more. We're really hoping that you all enjoy it and it makes your lives as developers that much easier, don't hesitate to reach out to us with feedback or comments 🌲.

We use Timber at https://dev.to and are quite happy with it so far. It's finding its way into our workflow more and more, and I could see it actually replacing a lot of independent dashboards in a really natural way. Great job Timber folks!

We've been using Timber in production for a while now at Exeq, and it's been mission critical to us. Having consolidated, searchable logging across our (5+) systems has been awesome. Love working with their team as well; they love feedback and take it very well. Their alerting is actually too verbose for our needs at times, but configurability is coming! Would highly recommend.

Pros:

Design, usability, ease of implementation, speed of team.

Cons:

Alerting, it exists but can be better...but having read future specs, there's a lot in the works that makes me excited!

If you use Rails+Heroku (or any of the other stacks they have special integrations for) I'd highly recommend it, as there are a bunch of convenient features you get out of the box, like being able to easily query the logs of a specific user, etc

Pros:

Brilliant, easy-to-use logging (and-then-some) in a beautiful, intuitive UI. Lots of useful, developer-friendly features that "just work."

Cons:

That it's only coming out now!

We switched to Timber a few weeks back and I have been really impressed with everything I've seen, the product is fantastic and the folks behind it do a wonderful job of providing personal, friendly support. Congrats on the launch folks, I wish you all the best!
