Summary

Sentry has introduced Performance Issues, a feature that allows developers to monitor and solve performance problems in their code. This feature is designed to provide actionable context to developers, enabling them to identify and fix performance issues faster. The first issue type tackled by Sentry is N+1 database queries, which are common database problems that can easily go unseen until they overwhelm the database or take down the application. Performance Issues uses a "performance detector" to check for excessive database spans and their cumulative duration, outputting performance problems with corresponding fingerprints. This feature provides a condensed span tree in the Issue Details page, along with additional context, allowing developers to quickly identify and address performance issues. Sentry is now available to all early adopters, and the company encourages feedback from users to continue building features that make developers' lives easier.
