The TL;DR
Sentry is an error-tracking and performance-monitoring platform to help developers diagnose and fix issues in their code.
- Errors (think, any event causing an application to misbehave) are inevitable facets of commercial software development (it’s true 😣)
- Sentry provides a SDK that developers can plug into their codebase to capture errors, and a graphical interface to contextualize and take action on them
- Sentry is best known for error tracking, but also provides application performance monitoring to better understand how well a team’s app is performing
Sentry is a well-regarded staple for many development teams, and they know it.
