Comment on Airbrake acquired by Exceptional

Comments

Not being aware of Airbrake prior, I assumed it was a service for transcoding media (i.e. Handbrake in the 'cloud'). Upon learning its actual purpose, it seems like the project is yet-another-candidate for cloning in an open source project so people can it run on their own.

As a hobbyist looking to learn more, I have been making a list of services that I could clone the functionality of, in an open source project, to achieve that end. This looks like a good opportunity.

I'm a core contributor to Errbit, which is exactly this :) - https://github.com/errbit/errbit

We run it at our organization to monitor 11 applications. One of the major benefits was LDAP authentication, and a custom issue tracker integration.
