If you've already instrumented your app with OpenTelemetry, you don't have to rip it out to use Sentry. Two environment variables and your logs start flowing into Sentry, no SDK changes, no re-instrumentation. Here's how to set it up in a sample app, and when the native Sentry SDK might be the better call.

We just released React Native SDK 8.0.0, here's what's new, and what's changed. It's been a while since the last major version. The last major release, 7.0.0, shipped on September 2, 2025. After 13 minor and 2 patch releases, it's finally time for a new major version to land: 8.0.0. This version is a maintenance and capability major. This means we: It should be straightforward to upgrade, but check the migration guide for your setup.

When you ship a Next.js app, the React and TypeScript you write aren’t what your users actually download. Next.js compiles, minifies, splits, and shuffles your code into chunks in ways that are great for performance and terrible for debugging. This post shows you how that pipeline works, how source maps and debug IDs connect it all back to your original code, and how to wire things up so Sentry shows you real file names and line numbers instead of an unreadable stack trace.

The things that separate a minimum viable product (MVP) from a production-ready app are polish, final touches, and the Pareto 'last 20%' of work. Most bugs, edge cases, and performance issues won't show up until after launch, when real users start hammering your application. If you're reading this, you're probably at the 80% mark, ready to tackle the rest.
