Apitally - Simple API monitoring and analytics for AdonisJS

[itssimon]

Hey AdonisJS community,

I’d like to introduce you to my indie product Apitally, a simple API monitoring and analytics tool for AdonisJS.

Apitally's key features are:

• 📊 Metrics & insights into API usage, errors and performance, for the whole API, each endpoint and individual API consumers.
• 🔎 Request logs allow you to find and inspect individual API requests and responses.
• 📜 Application logs captured and correlated with logged API requests.
• 🚨 Uptime monitoring & alerting notifies you of API problems – whether it's downtime, traffic spikes, errors or performance issues.

The Apitally SDK integrates with AdonisJS apps through a lightweight middleware, which captures metrics and logs for all API requests and asynchronously sends them to Apitally’s servers in regular intervals.

Setup is super easy thanks to an ace configure command:

npm install apitally
node ace configure apitally/adonisjs

You can find more details in the setup guide for AdonisJS.

The Apitally dashboard looks like this:

Please let me know what you think!

@itssimon you can simplify the setup even more on adonis v6 with node ace add <your_package> that will install provider, middleware etc.
I did not find any doc but you can find an example here

Great point, thanks! I'll implement that.

That’s done, and setup guide updated! Thanks again
