What is your error logging strategy/service?

What is your strategy for discovering/logging errors in your application? I'm trying to cover as much as I can with different error handling but with experience I've learned that you'll always miss something. I think ideally there would be a script or service I could somehow wrap my entire UI and my entire server in and it would just report back anything that went 'wrong' but that's a bit wishful. Do you just rely on good error handling and testing or is there some secret sauce?

    Hi Justin.
    My service itself is a chrome extension and for error logging I use https://sentry.io/.
    same time ago I also used it for a python app.

    I am quite sure, that https://www.honeybadger.io/ is one of those tools. I am using it for many of my own projects, and it is really easy to implement and tracks all errors. Hit me up, if you have any questions!

    For error and performance tracking I use AppSignal, while for exploring logs I use Grafana Loki.
