  • Source code, error filters, stack locals — Sentry enhances application performance monitoring with stack traces.
  • Quickly identify performance issues before they become downtime. 
  • Breadcrumbs make application development a little easier by showing you the trails of events that lead to the error(s).
  • Real-time application monitoring means data, in real-time. 
  • Dashboards add a visual element to our application monitoring.
Over 1M developers and 80K organizations already ship better software faster with Sentry application monitoring.
