Source maps` allow developers to view source code context from stack traces in their original form, which is particularly useful when debugging minified or transpiled code. To generate and make these source maps available for Sentry, developers can use tools like Webpack and Rollup with the `devtool: "source-map"` option. Once generated, source maps can be uploaded directly to Sentry using the `sentry-webpack-plugin`, which requires configuration of the plugin, client, and Releases API. Additionally, updating the Sentry SDK configuration with the `RewriteFrames` integration is necessary to resolve errors properly.
