How We Built Nightwatch, with Jess Archer

In this episode of the Laravel Podcast, host Matt Stauffer sits down with Jess Archer, Engineering Team Lead at Laravel, to explore her journey to the team and her work on key projects—most notably Nightwatch, Laravel’s tool for exception tracking, performance monitoring, and logging. They dive into how Nightwatch came to life, the architecture behind it, and how the team is structured to support its growth.

Archer discusses the complexities of data ingestion using Kafka, the challenges of scaling applications, and the architectural decisions that ensure performance and reliability. She highlights the importance of creating realistic seed data for testing and the collaborative workflows that drive successful project management. Throughout the conversation, Archer emphasizes the need for observability tools that minimize performance overhead and shares insights on how to effectively scope and plan projects in a dynamic environment.
