The article is aimed at researching and describing effective approaches and methods for quickly detecting and identifying errors in web applications while operating in production environments. This, in turn, is due to the fact that in modern conditions, the speed of detection and elimination of defects is important to ensure reliable operation of web applications.

The relevance of this topic is driven by the increasing transition of business processes to the online space. As more companies and human activities become dependent on software reliability, defects in commercial software products can lead to significant financial losses, reputational risks, and loss of user base. The growing complexity of web applications and their increasing role in critical business operations further emphasizes the importance of robust error detection methodologies. Therefore, timely detection and elimination of errors has become a vital business necessity.

The methodology described in this article represents a promising approach to rapid error detection in web applications, offering a systematic framework for monitoring and managing software errors in real-time. The methodology includes detailed recommendations and practices for identifying errors efficiently, even in software products handling high-volume error streams with substantial user loads.

The article will be useful for software developers, engineering managers, DevOps specialists, and researchers in the field of analysis and diagnostics of web applications. It provides a description of the techniques and tools used to improve the efficiency of working with web applications and improve their quality and security.
