Send an email when stuff breaks
Hello!
I am an Elixir/Phoenix newbie coming from the Python/Django world. Phoenix has been a very different beast for me compared to Django, and I am trying to embrace its ways and leave thinking in Django terms for when I am writing Python. However, I am missing Django’s logging AdminEmailHandler which would email me whenever there is an uncaught exception (i.e. whenever a 500 response happens). What would be a simple way to do something like that in Phoenix? Or perhaps: do I do something like that in the first place or I am being too paranoid?

I still haven’t had a chance to play with it much yet, but I believe this is exactly what Boom sets out to do. Might be worth giving it a shot.

Thank you both!
I have been using third-party services at work, but I feel it is a bit too much for a small project, probably because I would feel that I am attaching too much importance to it 
…and I can confirm that self-hosting Sentry is not fun.
Boom looks nice (and quite an appropriate name, too!), I will give it a try.
