AppSignal for Ruby

AppSignal supports the Ruby language with a Ruby gem. The gem supports many frameworks and gems out-of-the-box, but some gems and frameworks might require custom instrumentation.

It's also possible to add custom instrumentation to your application to gain even more insights into the performance of your code.
