As developers, we always look for ways to improve our Python products. To do so, we are constantly looking for ways to provide more value to our users and improve their experience.
For example, I am sure you have heard of the term "feature flag" before. A feature flag is a way to enable or disable a feature in your application. This is a great way to test new features and ensure they work as expected before releasing them to your users.
However, adding a new feature is just the first step. Once we have released the feature, we must ensure that our users are using it. We must confirm whether the feature is useful and whether our users are using and benefiting from it.
LogSnag is an excellent tool for this problem as it trivializes integrating with your Python application and tracking events. With LogSnag, we can easily track any critical event in our application and monitor user activity when a new feature is released, all in real-time.
For example, let's say we're building a Python application that allows our users to upload files, and we want to add a new feature that allows users to share these files with other users directly. We can use LogSnag to track an event when a user shares a file with another user. We can then use this to monitor how often this feature is being used and even go further and track user journeys to see how they use it.
