Resolution

Sentry is a developer-first application monitoring platform that helps you find and fix problems in your applications. It captures errors, logs, traces, session replays, profiles, and metrics, and connects that information through distributed tracing so you can investigate issues with the full context around them.

With Sentry, you can group and triage errors, identify the commits that may have introduced them, and trace requests across your frontend and backend services. You can also view logs, replays, and profiles alongside related issues and traces, monitor cron jobs and endpoint uptime, and send alerts to tools such as Slack or Jira.

For AI-assisted debugging, Sentry also offers Seer, which can help with root-cause analysis and fixing issues.

Sentry supports 100+ platforms and frameworks, and most SDKs can be set up with just a few lines of code.

If you’re new to Sentry, a good place to start is the product overview or Getting Started with Sentry. You can also learn more about Sentry and what we do on our about page.
