Hey HN, we recently released a new search implementation at Rollbar. It combines different kinds and scales of data across Clickhouse, MySQL and Elasticsearch. The results are that Rollbar's item search is now much faster and also supports many many more searches. Hope you find the technical details interesting - questions welcome.

Hi, Brian from Rollbar here. We believe that the items listed comprise the entirety of the scope. We will be able to state definitively once forensic analysis is complete.

GitHub tokens are not exposed. More specifically: customer credentials stored for third party integrations (i.e. GitHub, Slack, JIRA) are stored encrypted using a key that is not stored in the database, so those are not exposed.

No, just those US states at this time.

Reading every error is a great idea, but you don't need to read them all yourself - let the computer read them for you.

This is what error aggregators (e.g. Rollbar) do. Now you've got 10-1000x leverage on your time because you're reading unique errors instead of every occurrence, and you've got more data to debug with because you've got data about the aggregates ("when did it start? what request params are common? what servers is it on?") in addition to data about the individual occurrences. You can still commit to solving them all ("Rollbar Zero"). It's just a whole lot easier.
