Software development and operations teams are the guardians of system stability, ensuring uptime, reliability, and performance across complex software ecosystems. The stakes are high—every second of downtime impacts your brand’s reputation and bottom line. That’s why integrating Rollbar’s error monitoring with GrowthBook’s feature flagging is a game-changer for ops teams.
This combination equips you to proactively identify and mitigate issues tied to new features before they impact your users. Here’s how Rollbar and GrowthBook transform your workflows and safeguard your operations.
Real-Time Alerts for Feature-Specific Issues
With Rollbar, your team already has detailed, real-time insights into application errors. But what happens when a spike in errors is tied to a specific feature rollout? GrowthBook’s feature flags take the guesswork out of identifying the culprit. You can toggle features on or off instantly while Rollbar continues to monitor the broader system.
Example: A new payment gateway rollout causes intermittent errors for users in specific geographies. Rollbar flags the issue, and with GrowthBook, your team disables the feature in those regions in seconds, ensuring minimal user disruption.
Instant Rollbacks Without Releasing New Code
When critical errors arise, traditional workflows often require a full rollback or emergency patch deployment. GrowthBook eliminates this bottleneck by allowing you to disable problematic features on the fly—no redeployments needed. Rollbar ensures your team is alerted the moment something goes wrong.
Key Benefit: Spend less time firefighting and more time ensuring system stability.
Focused Root Cause Analysis
Large-scale applications can make debugging a needle-in-a-haystack challenge. By linking Rollbar’s error data to specific GrowthBook feature flags, ops teams can quickly isolate and analyze the root cause of any issue. This reduces mean time to resolution (MTTR) and keeps systems running smoothly.
A Seamless Workflow Between Ops and Devs
The Rollbar + GrowthBook integration strengthens collaboration between your operations and development teams. Ops teams gain clarity on whether an issue stems from new feature rollouts or existing code, while developers benefit from real-time feedback. Together, you can address issues proactively and maintain a strong user experience.
Stay Ahead of Downtime With Rollbar and GrowthBook
For operations teams, speed and precision are everything. By combining Rollbar’s monitoring capabilities with GrowthBook’s feature control, you gain the tools to prevent downtime, mitigate risks, and ensure reliability—no matter how fast your development teams ship.
