AppDoctor: proactive support (SaaS in development made with Elixir)

Oh also feel free to email beta@appdoctor.io for when we let the next round of users into closed beta!

Nice one Jordan

I know it’s not live yet but I went to appdoctor.io and it says Request does not contain account subdomain ..might be worth putting a holding page up for nosey parkers like myself?

You are probably correct. I will throw up something that redirects to the closed beta register page this weekend! But your more then welcome to poke at the api a bit

If you had an account you would be able to do something like

google-com-ACCOUNTID.appdoctor.io and it would proxy requests to google.com

We are excited to start our closed beta!

Below are 10 beta codes people can use to check it out / give us feedback.

Why are we doing a closed beta during development:

medium.com/appdoctor/closed-beta-af448039c3b7

Our public issue tracker:

https://github.com/AppDoctorIo/appdoctor-issue-tracker

Additional helpful information:

If you come across any issues or have any feedback please post to the github issue tracker or email us at support@appdoctor.io

If you know anyone interested in the the perks that come with giving us feedback during our closed beta period please have them email beta@appdoctor.io

We will continue to update the codes after they have been used.

Post on what we are working towards with AppDoctor Tests:

https://medium.com/appdoctor/appdoctor-tests-f9325cb4e9e6

Tests suites run inside dynamically supervised genservers. That way we can have long running tests that share state in between steps!

AppDoctor StatusPages are now in closed beta. You can use any of the codes above to try it out(would love the feedback).

If you have a project or application that you need a live automated StatusPage give it a try.
(along with all the other things it does)

Take a look at our example status page that we use to check our own applications health!

https://status.appdoctor.io

Materialized views + ecto raw queries make for a very speedy experience even for the complex aggregations required for an AppDoctor Status Page.

Edit:
I also entered in a local startup competition and would really appreciate a vote!

And of course to keep this elixir related here is a picture of a standard users supervisor tree in appdoctor.

under each user account:

Account GenServer: Used to collection some statistical information/ route request data to to the correct dynamic GenServer. This also handles starting bin servers under the bin supervisor.

Bin supervisor: This starts and stops GenServers for any request data and tracks statistical data like % of failed requests to an endpoint over X period of time. After not receiving any new messages after X time it stops itself.

Bin cleanup GenServer: handles rolling deletes based on account level. So for example free tier will allow 5000 requests per bin. It tracks this count internally and then runs the sql to delete when needed.

Rules GenServer: this GenServer gets passed requests and analyzes them against any rules stored it its state. It handles sending emails and updating the database when a rule is hit.

test GenServer: this is the place that contains all the tests state for a users. So that when a test is ran it does not need to hit the db. It also handles internal intervals of running tests using send_after.

test execution supervisor: when a test is running it can be long running so each test for an account is started in its own GenServer and handles each step of the test by sending messages to itself.

Last is a task supervisor that is used to start any async tasks and not have them crash the process they were started in.

AppDoctor uses a unique way of working distributed that has been working quite well so far and GenServers fail over across servers. I welcome any questions on the complications I went through setting this up and some of the awesome benefits gained through it as well!

Super excited to finally have the landing page up at:

https://appdoctor.io

Hopefully it explains everything better then I have previously. I will have some feature blog posts about the rules engine appdoctor uses because ast parsing made everything so much easier to handle!

We officially launched today!

I am super grateful for all the help I got both here and on the elixir slack group!
