Out of "experimental"?

Are there any plans for this to be out of experimental mode and considered production ready?

As far as I know, this library is not officially supported. I Can follow up internally to see if it could be.

I'm investigating options for client-side logging being sent to Stackdriver so it lives along side our server-side logging. This seemed to be the only option that had some backing which is why I was asking. Thanks for digging in internally with the team!

I'm also very curious about this for similar reasons. Figure I would express my interest as well!

Hi @steren , any updates on if this could be officially supported?

No update. It is likely that this library will stay an "unofficial Google product" and will stay maintained on the side by volunteers like me and whoever sends PRs to this repo.

The code is very simple (200 lines), so any business that wants to depend on it could do a code review to decide if they want to proceed. The library is also easy to re-implement, as it is basically a thin wrapper on top of the Error Reporting API.

This is also why I want to keep this library simple and I might push back adding non-critical features. Simplicity is a feature. Over time, the library became more complex, in term of dependencies, complexity of build step and usability (more optional settings). Keeping it simple with as less dependencies as possible is the best way to keep keep it alive.

Maybe there's no need for the comments in the code examples that say "Do not use in production environments" anymore though?

It's quite discouraging to see.
