opentelemetryUsing Sentry Release Tracking to Speed Up Rollback Decisions
When a new release spikes errors, knowing the exact commit that broke the app is critical. Sentry’s Release Tracking tags each event with the release version, letting you filter, alert, and roll back faster. This guide shows how to enable it, use it in CI/CD, and what to watch out for.
Choosing Between Sentry CLI and Manual Release Tagging
Decide between Sentry CLI and manual SDK tagging for release tracking. Learn how to balance pipeline complexity with data accuracy to enable source maps and release health metrics.
Make Sentry Performance Explain Business Latency With Targeted Spans
A slow invoice endpoint needs more than logs. Use transactions, sampled tracing, and a manual calculate_invoice span to make the waterfall explain business latency.
Trimming Sentry event volume with sampleRate and beforeSend
Sentry's sampleRate and beforeSend hook control what leaves your app, but they do different jobs. And the backend can still drop events. Here's how to configure and verify both.
Using Sentry Release Health to Catch Post-Deploy Error Spikes
Learn how to tag releases, configure release‑health alerts, and interpret the dashboard so you can spot regressions quickly after each deployment.
Resolving Obfuscated Stack Traces with Sentry Source Maps
Learn how to implement Sentry Source Maps to resolve obfuscated production stack traces, ensuring precise error localization while keeping source code secure.
javascriptTaming Sentry Alert Noise with Custom Fingerprinting
Default Sentry grouping splits errors on dynamic values. Learn how to customize fingerprints via beforeSend and server‑side rules to collapse noise without hiding real regressions.
Taming the Noise: Mastering Sentry Event Fingerprinting
Stop the Sentry notification storm. Learn how to use custom event fingerprinting to group errors by root cause rather than dynamic error messages.
