The challenge

Mercado Libre runs two main mobile applications with about 60 teams adding code for each release, where any large crash or increase in crash rate can halt a release. The company needed dependable error tracking to protect release velocity and app stability.

The solution

Mercado Libre standardized on Bugsnag for error tracking across its ecosystem, using Slack channel integration and team-specific filters so teams could focus on their own code and react to error notifications quickly.

We use BugSnag because we know how to use it, and we trust it, which is most important. We can trust that what we see is what is happening.
