In the early days of the web, the idea of performance was relatively straightforward. Pages were static, and the most dynamic thing you might encounter was a blinking banner ad. But as the web evolved, so did our ambitions. Today it's not just about building web pages anymore; it's about crafting experiences.

With Sentry, developers are able to quickly pinpoint and fix issues that impact their end users or business, and we want every developer to have the best error monitoring in place from the moment they deploy code to production. So we’re partnering with Fly.io to do just that.

The costs of lackluster incident management are truly far-reaching. We’ve learned they go beyond explicit costs, like lost revenue and labor expenses.
