Sentry captures errors, performance issues, and session replays across frontend and backend. The best error tracking tool with excellent source map and stack trace support.
Reviewer scorecard
“The standard for observability instrumentation. Auto-instrument once, send to any backend — Datadog, Grafana, Honeycomb.”
“Essential for any production app. Source maps, breadcrumbs, and release tracking make debugging 10x faster.”
“Vendor-agnostic instrumentation prevents lock-in. The ecosystem is mature enough for production.”
“The free tier is generous and the core error tracking is genuinely best-in-class. Session replay is a nice bonus.”
“OpenTelemetry will be to observability what Kubernetes is to orchestration — the universal standard.”
“Session replay lets you see exactly what users experienced before errors. Invaluable for debugging UI issues.”
