Introducing Tower: A Comprehensive Exception Tracking Solution for Elixir

Tower is a newly open-sourced Elixir package designed to facilitate exception tracking in Elixir applications. The package allows developers to monitor errors across multiple processes, ensuring that they receive timely notifications about failures. Despite Elixir’s fault-tolerant architecture through supervisors, it’s crucial to track exceptions to maintain application health. Tower supports reporting to multiple destinations, such as Sentry and Honeybadger, with an easy configuration process. Developers can modify their reporting with minimal code changes, making it flexible and user-friendly. Implementation of Tower integrates with Elixir’s Logger, enabling comprehensive error tracking, especially in concurrent applications where it's essential to catch exceptions that might otherwise go unnoticed.
