This simplified the ELK stack setup a whole bunch.
We've got a couple of these kinds of applications where I work. All built on RabbitMq / MassTransit. Without smart logging it would be real frustrating to track down issues. You could put breakpoints everywhere locally, but that's a pain.
Tools like Seq are really helpful during development. ELK stack / splunk / log aggregator X are almost required on the non-local environments.
No regrets. Thanks for sharing your space.
Really interesting to hear about the innards.
Thanks for the post.
I took Ryan Dahl's chat room demo and added a database for validating users & message logging. I've added a couple commands that allow users to change their nicknames on the fly and some other feeble functionality.
I think eventually i'd like for users to be able to run javascript across all sessions, which could be a complete mess or kind of cool.
I'm no rails guru, but I have but together quite a few professional CMS's and use it almost exclusively for homebrew projects, and I've never felt like I needed a heavyweight IDE.
