scout_apm_savemoney

Instrument only a percentage of your Rails app's web requests and background jobs in Scout APM so you can subscribe to a lower plan in Scout APM and save money

Installation

Add scout_apm_savemoney to your Rails app's Gemfile

gem "scout_apm_savemoney"

and bundle install

bundle install

Now, in an initializer, configure scout_apm_savemoney to only send a percentage of web requests and background jobs to Scout APM

# config/initializers/scout_apm_savemoney.rb

ScoutApmSaveMoney.configure do |config|
  config.web_requests_instrumentation_percentage = 10
  config.background_jobs_instrumentation_percentage = 10
end

Why

Application Performance Management (APM) tools are often expensive. This forces many startups to forego using an APM tool. This gem helps you instrument only a percentage of your Rails app's web requests and background jobs in Scout APM so you can subscribe to a plan that's affordable for you now and later upgrade as your revenue grows.
