Summary

At Closegap, a nonprofit tech startup, they provide a free tool to support the mental health of thousands of students across the United States. The tool, which includes a free mental health check-in for K-12 students, has helped prevent suicides and uncovered cases of self-harm, bullying, and home issues that could have otherwise gone unnoticed. Closegap uses New Relic as an observability tool to monitor their website's performance and identify potential issues, such as technical debt that was impacting their server costs. The company is also exploring the Hotwire approach to simplify development and build a mobile app with a smaller team. They plan to open-source the application to create an open-source community and share their experience with developers who share their values and mission. Closegap's goal is to improve youth mental health by transforming the way kids are cared for in school, and they're committed to driving equitable access to technology through their Observability for Good Social Impact program.
