Unclaimed: Are are working at Sentry ?
Sentry is an open-source error tracking tool that helps developers monitor and fix crashes in real time. It streamlines the process of identifying, diagnosing, and fixing bugs in software applications across various programming languages. Sentry's capabilities include providing detailed error reports, context on what caused each error, and tools for team collaboration to efficiently address issues.
Sentry is also often used as Application Performance Monitoring (APM) Tools of choice in Indie Hacker and Web Development tech stacks.

Sentry offers a plethora of features, namely error tracing. When an error occurs your get a lovely stack trace, details about what platform it happened on and much more. On top of that, they offer APM so you can use telemetry to speed up your api calls. They offer tons of tools for frontend too but I've mostly only worked with backend errors and apm. Pricing is great.
There's not much to dislike. A lot is plug and play and the docs are beautiful. If I had to pick on thing, I'd say overages of your monthly alllowance of errors could be pushed more. i.e "Make sure to set limits so you don't go over your monthly limits for errors or APM"
Sentry was able to help catch tons of unexpected issues with great detail and context. It also helped speed up a ton of API calls being able to see query and cache usage in the APM dashboard
We can send and analyse the application issues using the comprehensive details in sentry.
I think, the configuration options should be increased.
Helping to catch & analyse the issues and errors in live applications
The ease of use, and the quality and level of details in error reporting, through its integration with django, redis and celery. Performance module is also very useful to monitor the overall performance of our app in production
It's kind of tricky to get detailed info/documentation for integrations on the on-premise version of sentry.
Error reporting in production and application performance monitoring
Really simple tooling for most languages and frameworks
UI can be a little confusing to navigate sometimes
Sentry captures errors and metadata around those errors so that they can be triaged and patched
Sentry does a great job of exposing errors in your application and, perhaps more importantly, makes it really easy to track down and debug the errors. It also integrates well with your git hosting client to let you know when you introduce a regression and exactly what release it came from.
The interface can be somewhat noisy. There is a lot of information, which is great, but it clutters the screen and it can just be a lot to process, especially when you first start using sentry.
We use sentry to monitor all of our client websites and applications. It has been saved our developers a ton of time when trying to debug issues. It has also been really useful of notifying us when errors occur so we can take care of them before the client even knows there was an issue. It truly has been a game-changer for our business.
Ease of implementation, user interface, and the ability to detect and handle bugs proactively.
Not all features are available for the Flutter SDK
Detecting and handling bugs before the final users complain about them.
very easy to implement in new or existing software products. very well documents for all the variety of the languages.
should contain more easy way to log some other stuff than bugs
capture error traces for every host in our data flow. also, capture what the client sends us in advance to reproduce but and investigate them quickly.
For web products, It's incredibly easy to configure and with a simple integration you can start to track your product. The information it attaches with a default configuration to every issue helps a lot with bug fixing and debugging, something that can be enhanced providing stack traces, suspect commits or even session replay. It does offer a lot of options to also enrich the events with custom information or tags that can be helpful for more precisely debugging.
The integration with web apps is quite simple, but it lacks a lot of features it offers with another frameworks like release health or more rich metrics. The stack traces can be confusing sometimes, but I guess it depends of your build configuration and stack.
We need to monitor an international web app that can be executed in a very diverse environment (devices, OS, browsers...) where sometimes strange errors can happen. Sentry helps us to react to unexpected issues in production as well as to better identify corner cases and to know the real impact of some issues in our web apps audience.
I love the email notifications but only for new errors.
There is sometimes a delay with the error reporting.
It makes looking at the stacktrace in production errors so much easier
