April 2023 Summaries

Cloudflare Workers provide a serverless execution environment that enables functions like HTML rewriting, A/B testing, and request caching, and now they can log HTTP requests directly to Axiom, offering granular insights into site performance. These insights include total request counts, success and failure rates, error-prone routes, execution times, and origins of requests, which aid in site optimization and issue resolution. Users can set up monitors to receive alerts on error rate spikes and analyze error-prone URLs and slow routes for optimization. Notifications about elevated error rates can be received through various channels, such as Slack and Email. The integration of Cloudflare Workers with Axiom enhances monitoring capabilities and helps measure request duration, error rates, and popular URLs and regions, with ongoing development for further integration with Cloudflare Logpush.

In the past year, the Axiom Vercel Integration has evolved to offer enhanced observability for Vercel users, including improvements in resilience, performance, and user experience. Notable updates include a new deployment selector for easier filtering of projects and deployments, the addition of user agent and environment properties to logs and Web Vitals for more precise filtering, and the ability to create intermediate loggers for increased flexibility in logging user data. The integration now supports sending logs from edge functions and getServerSideProps, thanks to community contributions. Furthermore, next-axiom extends its compatibility to non-Vercel deployments, requiring the creation of a dataset and API token. Support for Next.js 13 with Web Vitals has been added, allowing users to send these metrics to Axiom with minimal configuration. Users are encouraged to install the Axiom Integration from the Vercel marketplace and can provide feedback via Twitter or join the Axiom Discord community.
