We’re excited to introduce the Scout Monitoring MCP Server — a new way to bring AI-native monitoring directly into your coding assistant. Instead of flipping between dashboards and logs, the MCP server surfaces performance data, errors, and slow endpoints right inside your AI tool.
The CASA organizations connect trained volunteer advocates with children in the foster care system. Ruby for Good is a nonprofit, volunteer-driven organization that connects developers with organizations like CASA to create technology to serve the greater good. In this case, the result is a multi-tenant codebase that currently serves multiple active CASA organizations, with the potential to scale across court systems nationwide.
AI-native monitoring is designed for teams shipping AI-generated code. It brings errors, metrics, and performance data into your LLM, where you already work. Learn how this new approach helps developers tame black-box AI code, cut tool sprawl, and stay in flow — making apps built with AI-generated code easier to debug, scale, and trust.
What happens when issues aren't obvious? Good monitoring can keep you in the know and a step ahead of your users, preventing broken trust and lost revenue.
News from the Scout team. Error Monitoring is in Beta. Chaskiq customer spotlight. Fun stuff we've scouted.
A side-by-side look at Scout vs. Sentry application monitoring. Which tool is the best fit for your application?
For more than a decade, Cookpad, a global platform for recipe sharing and search, has relied on APM tools to monitor critical application performance metrics, like server response times and resource usage. When their previous APM tool became too expensive after price increases, they needed to find a new solution that could check all of their boxes. Scout offered Cookpad what they needed: transaction-level insights to pinpoint slow components, alerts for response time and throughput at the endpoint level, and predictable, developer-friendly pricing.
In this final part, the Scout team continues our talk with Freedom Dumalo, former CTO at Flexcar and current CTO at Vestmark. We discuss some essential questions about architecture, touch on Rails, Turbo, and Stimulus, and the key considerations for those starting off before they lock in an architecture or tech decision.

The team was experiencing bottlenecks in their database, n+1 queries, and slow requests and was struggling to catch performance issues in their local testing environment, where traffic patterns didn’t reflect real-world usage. Chaskiq previously used New Relic, but the tool was unsuccessful in solving their challenges and providing the insights needed to enact positive changes.
Error Monitoring announcement, Ruby and Python agent updates.
ForAll Systems Inc. is a Chicago-based educational technology company with more than 15 years of experience developing assessment software for K–12 school districts. Their team was dealing with N+1 queries and a significant amount of slow requests. In order to diagnose issues before implementing an APM tool, Forall Systems would examine log files or try to reproduce the problems in their testing environments.
