What is Sentry?

Sentry is a developer-first error tracking and performance monitoring platform. It captures unhandled exceptions, traces slow transactions, records session replays, and surfaces the root cause of issues — so you can fix bugs faster and ship with confidence.

Key capabilities

Error Monitoring

Capture and triage every unhandled error with intelligent deduplication and full stack traces.

Performance Monitoring

Measure transaction latency, database query performance, and frontend Web Vitals in real time.

Distributed Tracing

Follow a request across microservices with full end-to-end traces and span-level visibility.

Session Replays

Replay exactly what a user experienced before an error.

Profiling

Find performance bottlenecks at the function level with continuous profiling.

Crons and Uptime

Monitor scheduled jobs and external endpoints continuously.
