Skylight Reviews

Skylight Description

Skylight serves as an intelligent profiler specifically designed for Ruby and Rails applications, transforming performance metrics into practical insights that enable you to allocate less time to troubleshooting and more time to enhancements. It categorizes endpoints based on "agony," which is a unique combination of slowness and frequency of use, allowing you to identify which areas will yield the greatest returns on your optimization efforts. By examining our endpoint graphs, you can accurately locate where the slowdowns are happening, with the widest bars in these sequences indicating the events that require your attention most urgently. After making improvements to your code, you can easily redeploy your application, with deploys represented on the overview graph to give you a clear visual comparison of your changes. Additionally, you can analyze a histogram of response times to uncover infrequent slowdowns that may affect your overall averages. The tool also allows you to aggregate event sequences based on time or memory allocations, helping you to identify where bottlenecks may be occurring. This way, you can effectively pinpoint your slowest responses and refine your focus on the disparities between your fastest and slowest responses, ultimately leading to a better-performing application. By continuously monitoring and optimizing your application, you can ensure a smoother user experience and enhanced performance over time.
