June 2022 Summaries

Axiom has expanded its integration with Vercel to enhance observability for Next.js projects, introducing a new dashboard, full-stack observability with the next-axiom plugin, and support for all Vercel log sources. The upgraded dashboard offers improved charting and data exploration features, enabling users to monitor application performance, detect and address deployment issues, and gain insights into user interactions and Web Vitals. The next-axiom plugin provides isomorphic observability for Next.js, allowing developers to monitor web vitals, implement structured logging, and send logs and events across client, edge, or server-side code with minimal configuration. This integration aims to ensure Vercel users can maintain optimal application performance and user experience through comprehensive monitoring and analytics.

This month, Axiom introduced several updates, including the launch of its Vercel integration, which is now available in the Vercel marketplace. This integration allows users to monitor and analyze the performance and health of their Vercel applications and Next.js projects by providing persistent logging and performance metrics through a pre-built dashboard. Additionally, Axiom has enabled AWS Lambda-based querying for self-hosted setups, offering potential cost and performance benefits. The company also introduced a one-click login feature via its CLI, enhancing user access to deployments and resources. Furthermore, a new topk implementation was unveiled, allowing users to efficiently retrieve the top results for specific fields in datasets, providing precise estimates for the most frequent values.
