How does The Cogworks utilize elmah.io?

We had a chat with Ismail Mayat, a senior web developer at The Cogworks. Ismail tells us they use elmah.io across all their projects.

"We became familiar with elmah.io when one of our existing projects was causing us performance issues. Trawling through our application and IIS logs we had found nothing of note, but when we installed elmah.io it opened up a whole new window to our site code base. We soon found the problem and all was fixed."

The Cogworks are continuously working with elmah.io and use a lot of the features available. One of the favorites, is the integration with Slack. By integrating error logging from the range of websites with Slack, The Cogworks has an early warning system and can react to errors before customers starts complaining.

When looking back to the time before integrating with elmah.io, Ismail states: "Now it's a case of how did we ever live without it?"
