Fixing Performance Issues Fast with Logs & Tracing

Learn how to quickly track down performance bottlenecks using Sentry Logs and Tracing. In this video, we walk through identifying a slow screen, jumping into the connected trace, and pinpointing slow backend steps, database calls, and AI/LLM operations. See how logs, issues, and traces work together to show the full picture of what happened in a single session.

Expose Hidden State Bugs with Sentry Logs

See how Sentry Logs can surface hidden state bugs that stack traces alone can’t explain. In this walkthrough, we debug a React Native app with an Express.js backend where a missing diet value causes a crash. We inspect the issue, pull in the connected logs, and confirm whether the problem comes from an initial render or from real backend data. By combining issues, traces, and logs from the same session, you get the full story—and a faster path to the fix.

Prioritizing Bugs with Sentry Logs

Learn how to use Sentry Logs to measure how often a bug occurs and which users it impacts. In this example, a React Native app with an Express.js backend crashes when the diet value becomes undefined. After identifying the root cause, we use Explore Logs to count how many times users switch their diet to “none,” filter the related log messages, and group results by user type to understand the impact.

Docker Logs Command Reference: tail, follow, since Options

Managing Docker container logs is essential for debugging and monitoring application performance. Tailoring Docker logs allows for real-time insights, quick issue resolution, and optimized performance. This guide focuses on efficient methods for tailing Docker logs, with clear examples and command options to streamline log management.

Observability trends for 2026: Maturity, cost control, and driving business value

The observability landscape has undergone a fundamental transformation over the past several years. In a recent report, The Landscape of Observability in 2026: Balancing Cost and Innovation conducted by Dimensional Research and sponsored by Elastic, over 500 IT decision-makers were surveyed. It revealed that observability has definitively transitioned from an optional capability to a mission-critical business function.
