Skylight

Skylight is a cloud profiler for Ruby and Rails applications, available through API, Linux, macOS, and web platforms. It ranks endpoints by “agony,” combining popularity with response time, and plots deployments against performance so teams can relate code changes to results. Supported Ruby frameworks include Rails, Sinatra, and Grape. Skylight analyzes Sidekiq, DelayedJob, and ActiveJob background queues, and can flag allocation-heavy code and repeated queries. Endpoint timelines present aggregated, sanitized SQL queries. GraphQL queries are grouped by name in the dashboard and endpoint event sequences. A weekly report identifies improved endpoints, slowdown warnings, and endpoints that declined over six weeks. Each account includes 100,000 free traces per month. Paid tiers start at $20 a month and adjust to monthly trace volume across apps. A 30-day trial is available without a credit card. Open-source apps may apply for free public reporting. Communications are encrypted, and access to customer information is limited to selected personnel and contractors.
