What is Sentry?
Sentry is an application monitoring platform that provides real-time error tracking, performance monitoring, and release health tracking. It helps development teams identify and fix issues before they impact users.
Why We Use Sentry
Sentry is essential for maintaining application quality:
- Real-time Alerts: Instant notification when errors occur
- Stack Traces: Detailed debugging information with source maps
- Release Tracking: Monitor error rates across versions
- Performance Monitoring: Identify slow transactions and bottlenecks
- User Context: Understand which users are affected by issues
Our Sentry Implementation
We integrate Sentry comprehensively across projects:
- Flutter Integration: Crash reporting and performance traces
- Backend Monitoring: Server-side error and performance tracking
- Source Maps: Readable stack traces in production
- Custom Contexts: Business-specific debugging information
- Alerting Rules: Intelligent notifications based on error patterns
Sentry Best Practices
Our approach to error monitoring:
- Capture breadcrumbs for debugging context
- Set up proper release and environment tagging
- Configure sampling rates for performance data
