Developers started to notice just how big our JavaScript package was and yeah, we knew. We weren’t ignoring the issues; after all, we don’t want the Sentry package to be the cause of a slowdown. But to reduce our JavaScript SDK package size effectively we had to account for shipping new capabilities, like being able to manage the health of a release and performance monitoring, while maintaining a manageable bundle size.

The most important thing with building out any application is to think BIG. Build for ten users now and 10,000 users tomorrow.

Have you ever had a tough time debugging your Python code? If yes, learning how to set up logging in Python can help you streamline your debugging workflow. As a beginner programmer, you’ll have likely used the print() statement—to print out certain values across runs of your program—to check if the code is working as expected. Using print() statements to debug could work fine for smaller Python programs.

Today, everything we work on relies on being connected to an app. Whether we are in a household or running a business, applications have become as accessible as air. Alright, almost like air. If your business relies on applications to survive, a Slow Application spells disaster.
