Get Scout's performance monitoring for Elixir
Scout pinpoints and ranks performance bottlenecks in your Elixir applications. With automatic monitoring for Phoenix projects, see exactly which module is causing problems through detailed process traces -- in just three easy steps.
Find Issues Fast
Find and prioritize N+1 queries and memory bloat automatically, ranked by actual impact on your application. Our customers like Grizzly Labs and IETF have seen up to 3x performance improvements by addressing performance and stability issues Scout discovered.
Smart Monitoring
Automatically track memory usage, optimize queries, and monitor object allocations with minimal overhead (typically <1%). Scout analyzes your application metrics every minute and sends them securely through 256-bit encrypted connections, ensuring you never miss a performance regression.
Pinpoint Problems
Trace performance issues directly to the exact line of code, eliminating time wasted searching through logs and stacktraces. Scout's detailed transaction traces show you the whole picture - from controller actions to database queries - with timing breakdowns for each component.
Clear Context
View full context in clear, language-specific syntax, making it easier to understand how problematic code was invoked. Scout's GitHub integration even shows you who wrote the code, when it was deployed, and provides direct links to the relevant source files.
