Noibu
While basic error logging tagged with cart value is easy to hack together via Sentry, Noibu's real value lies in DOM session replay, automated error grouping, HTTP payload scrubbing, and enterprise-grade PCI/GDPR masking. Building telemetry ingestion that handles millions of store hits without slowing down checkout is a major infrastructure burden.
