As the world is racing to plug AI into nearly every part of business, especially software engineering, the stakes to maintain operational integrity have never been higher. AI-generated code and AI-agents ship faster than human SREs can prepare for, which can create costly issues down the line: incidents get harder to predict and more expensive to recover from.

We got a little behind on updating our changeLOG, so we’re dumping it all into this bLOG post instead. Think of it as one giant, retroactive changelog entry or, if you want to be dramatic about it, one massive prompt injection straight into your feed. Either way: here’s everything that shipped for Sentry Logs this summer. Would you rather listen to the team talk about what they built? Check out this video where Kyle and Josh talk about the latest updates on Logs.

Migrating your app to a new service can be scary. Render makes the deployment side easy, but a green deploy doesn’t mean everything is working. Silent failures are often the most dangerous kind. They go unnoticed until a customer calls to report a broken webhook or you realize the queue depth has been climbing since the cutover and nobody has caught it yet. The migrations that explode on deploy are not the ones you should fear. It’s those that look fine for three days.

An internal technical support portal allows you to centralize tickets, requests, help articles, and workflows in a single location for the entire company. The goal is not only to optimize IT work but also to reduce the use of emails, direct messages, and other informal channels that often result in requests without follow-up and visibility. But implementing a portal doesn't guarantee that employees will use it.

The best SSL certificate monitoring tools are Hyperping (certificate checks inside a full uptime, on-call and status page workflow), TrackSSL (dedicated certificate inventory and change alerts), Xitoring (deepest published TLS analysis at the lowest price), UptimeRobot (largest free tier), Better Stack (certificate checks alongside logs, traces and incident response) and Oh Dear (whole-site health for agencies). I analyzed 26 tools and narrowed the list to these six.

Here's a scenario that will likely sound familiar: You’re building an executive overview dashboard that you would put on a wall-mounted screen so the whole room can see how the business is doing at a glance. It’s for a Shopify online store, and displays a mix of business and application signals, including latency panels, error-rate panels, and a big stat panel for revenue-per-week. It looked great. But something is missing.
