DevOps.JS Workshop: Tracking errors and slowdowns across JS applications using Sentry

Join Simon Zhong, Sentry Sales Engineer, as he goes through setting up Sentry step-by-step to get visibility into our frontend and backend. Once integrated, he will track and triage errors + transactions surfaced by Sentry from our services to understand why/where/how errors and slowdowns occurred within our application code. This workshop took place live at DevOps.JS Conference on March 21, 2022.

Sentry Points of Presence: How We Built a Distributed Ingestion Infrastructure

Event ingestion is one of the most mission-critical components at Sentry, so it’s only natural that we constantly strive to improve its scalability and efficiency. In this blog post, we want to share our journey of designing and building a distributed ingestion infrastructure—Sentry Points of Presence— that handles billions of events per day and helps thousands of organizations see what actually matters and solve critical issues quickly.

Android Manifest Placeholders

Android Manifest file is essential for any Android app, which contains specific information about your app, Android build tools, Google Play, device permissions, app launch information, operating system config and more. Every Android app must have an AndroidManifest.xml file in the directory structure. Android Manifest usually contains pre-defined or static information which is then used to run the app.

The Sentry Ruby SDK now supports Release Health

Developers work tirelessly to publish updates to improve their products and services because, as we all know, a better user experience = happier customers. While shipping updates, features, and improved capabilities can help improve your user’s experience, introducing new code can also introduce new issues; and finding exactly what update caused a release to degrade can be time consuming and costly.

What are Suspect Spans?

Suspect Spans surfaces a list of spans that correspond to where the most time in a transaction is spent. Instead of clicking into every trace in an attempt to identify the bad actor, check out the Spans tab or Suspect Spans section in every transaction summary and jump directly to the span that needs your attention. In this video, we dive more into what suspect spans are, and we go through a demo of how you can also use Suspect Spans as a complement to your performance monitoring.
