# Updates to RSS Cloud Server

I’ve been making many gradual changes to the RSS Cloud server over the last few months. Things have stabilized enough that I feel comfortable sharing now.

## New Logger

The first big change was a revamp of the [log page](https://rpc.rsscloud.io/viewLog) for debugging. I found that the way it was before made it almost impossible to debug your subscribers/publishers, so I wanted to change it to be more like Loggly, which was a tool I used at my last job.

Instead of storing the log in a database that would need to be cleaned up regularly, this is now a live WebSocket feed. It’s using a web component I built called [Socklog](https://github.com/andrewshell/socklog).

## New Stats Page

The next change I made was to add a [stats page](https://rpc.rsscloud.io/stats) to the site. This shows how many feeds are using the server (with or without subscriptions), how many subscribers there are, and other interesting data.

## Other Changes

There has also been a large overhaul under the hood. I’ve been modernizing the codebase and removing as many dependencies as I can.

In the not-too-distant future, I’ll be [dockerizing](https://www.docker.com/) the app and moving it to a new server, so a lot of my changes have been in preparation for this.

I also have a few related projects in the pipeline, but I’m not ready to publicize them yet.
