Instrument the app with tools such as new relic?

[hems]

Type of problem

Need to instrument the app using new relic, is it possible to run "require('newrelic')" before anything else?

Summary

I believe because horse buildpack "de-meteriorize" the application the instrumentation on my server isn't happening as early as new relic would like to.

Deployment target

Heroku

@hems you can rather try with kadira APM which is better than newrelic for meteor apps. I tried with newrelic but the instrumentation is not that helpful out of box. You will have to use custom instrumentation in newrelic due to the fact that meteor server side communication happens via websockets.

Kadira will show you exact metrics where performance is bottleneck. Kadira is now closed but there is an open sourced version of it made available. Or you can also try with nodechef hosted kadira.

@nilesh-parab thanks for the suggestions!

perhaps galaxy comes with kadira out of the box too right?
