Learn how Sentry’s release health feature automatically compares key metrics between releases and how to configure alerts so regressions are caught before they impact users.
Learn how to enable Sentry release health, configure a Node.js app with a release tag, and verify that regressions are surfaced after deployment.
Stop drowning in error alerts by using Sentry’s Release Health. Tag each deployment, view new‑issue spikes per release, and set alerts that focus on regressions. A Node.js example shows the exact SDK call and CI step needed.
Goal: Determine how Sentry’s release health algorithm labels a release as healthy, degraded, or crashy when a deployment fails but no error events are reported for that release. Constraints: The health calculation uses a rolling window (default 24 hours) and requires a minimum traffic threshold before issuing a status. When no events are received, the algori
