Backend Quickstart / Overview
What's this?
Highlight's Full-stack integration allows you to get visibility into errors and issues across your whole stack, not just your frontend. These errors are paired with outgoing requests on your frontend so that you can understand:
Exactly what happened when a user reports a bug
Where specific errors are initiated and what caused them
What backend issues could have caused corresponding frontend bugs.
What does it look like?
Below is an example of a backend error (thrown in go ) ,mapped to an actual network request on a user's frontend.

As a first step, you must enable the correct options in your client-side code snippet detailed in our full stack mapping reference.
Make the appropriate backend changes:
Backend changes are dependent on the underlying language/framework used on the server-side codebase. All you need to add is a middleware and code to capture errors.
