#DEVDiscuss: Error Handling

Time for #DEVDiscuss β€” right here on DEV 😎

Inspired by @cherryramatis' Top 7 post, tonight’s topic is... Error Handling!

Effective API design is essential for creating user-friendly, efficient, and maintainable software systems. Idempotency is just one aspect, so what elements of API design are most crucial to you and your team?

Questions:

  • How do you educate and onboard new developers on the error handling practices and conventions used in your projects?
  • Are there any specific programming languages or frameworks that you believe excel in terms of providing comprehensive error handling mechanisms? Why?
  • As projects scale, error management becomes more complex. What tools or practices do you recommend for effective error tracking and monitoring in large-scale applications?
  • Any triumphs, fails, or other stories you'd like to share on this topic?
