Case Study: Happy Bits cuts debugging time from days to minutes with Logentries

Happy Bits Uses Logentries to Aggregate and Analyze Log Data to Better Understand Application Performance for Their End Users

Happy Bits builds mobile apps that let users share videos instantly across popular messaging platforms. Their apps rely on device-specific native codecs (accessed via JNI) and shared C libraries for cross-platform video streaming, which produced obscure, device-dependent exceptions that were hard to track. Before adopting a log management solution, the team often waited for bugs to appear in reports and faced 3–4 day debug cycles.

By adopting Logentries for aggregated, real-time log management and analytics, Happy Bits gained granular visibility into app behavior, could zero in on relevant log segments and share findings via dashboards. John Leohrer says this cut their troubleshooting time from days to roughly 5–10 minutes, improving responses for both management and customers and enabling faster, more reliable releases.
