Exception tracing for production environment with exception code (SHA 256)

[joamag]

Description

Under production environments the stack-trace (error log) cannot be displayed directly to the end-user (user-agent) because of privacy issues.

The proper way to handle this is to store the stack trace (and other error information) in an external database and then provide the end-user user with an error tracing code (SHA 256) so that he can provide that to customer service and have the error diagnosed.

Solution

• Rely on an external service like Opbeat to do that
• Implement our own solution and use a client on Appier Extras
• Create an entity named Exception that stores all of this information in the data store
