For the last few weeks I’ve used a coding agent to find and fix backend performance issues in Sentry, starting from the traces Sentry sends to itself. Most of the fixes only changed a line or two. But together, they removed hundreds of millions of queries a week, and some expensive lookups became hundreds or thousands of times faster (more details on that below).

Starting with Sentry Android SDK 8.51.0, profiling on Android 15+ devices is powered by Perfetto, through Android’s system ProfilingManager API. That means fewer legacy tracer crashes, lower CPU and memory overhead, and more representative profiles. You don’t need to change any configuration: if you already use continuous profiling, devices on Android 15 and newer pick up the new profiler as soon as you upgrade.
