Congrats on the launch! I've actually tried this out, and both the developer experience and dashboard user interface are very slick.

The main concern I've heard from senior security experts that have advised us is about __your__ access. By embedding Sqreen to intercept all web server traffic at the gateway (e.g. WSGI in Python), your solution adds a worry about an attack vector -- if Sqreen itself is compromised, everything about our website is compromised. Or, any general server errors at Sqreen will bring down the entire web application, possibly without warning (web app won't be able to trigger 500s), with no way to remedy except removing Sqreen and re-deploying. That actually happened for us for 12+ hours during the one month we tried out Sqreen.

I think the problem you're addressing is definitely a very real and huge problem. Would love to hear your response to the above.
