Apitally - Simple API monitoring and analytics for Express

[itssimon]

Hey Express community,

I’d like to introduce you to my indie product Apitally, a simple API monitoring and analytics tool for Express.

Apitally's key features are:

• Metrics & insights into API usage, errors and performance, for the whole API, each endpoint and individual API consumers.
• Request logs allow users to find and inspect individual API requests and responses.
• Application logs are captured and automatically correlated with API requests.
• Uptime monitoring & alerting notifies users of API problems the moment they happen, whether it's downtime, traffic spikes, errors or performance issues.

The Apitally SDK integrates with Express apps through a lightweight middleware, which captures metrics and logs for all API requests and asynchronously sends them to Apitally’s servers in regular intervals.

Setup is super easy. Just add a few lines of code to your project. No infrastructure required.

const express = require("express");
const { useApitally } = require("apitally/express");

const app = express();
app.use(express.json());

useApitally(app, {
  clientId: "your-client-id",
  env: "dev", // or "prod" etc.
});

The Apitally dashboard looks like this:

If you'd like to try it out, there's a setup guide for Express.

Please let me know what you think!
