Summary

Sentry Raises $16 Million Series B from NEA and Accel to Expand Error Monitoring Capabilities into Application Performance Monitoring for Developers Sentry has raised an additional $16 million in funding from partners at NEA and Accel, marking a turning point for the company. With this new investment, Sentry plans to expand its capabilities beyond error monitoring to tackle broader application performance issues, including those that don't generate traditional errors or trigger visible errors. The company aims to use the same core principles and ideas that have made its error monitoring successful to address these problems, positioning itself as a leader in Application Performance Monitoring for Developers (APM). Sentry's mission is to provide peace of mind for developers by giving them the data points they need to quickly identify issues, such as code changes, and prevent bugs from reaching users. With the launch of Sentry 9, the company has introduced features like Suspect Commits, which enable developers to take ownership of their code changes and receive timely feedback on potential issues.
