Summary

Sentry aims to improve the post-deployment process of discovery, investigation, and remediation by providing a client/server architecture that integrates with existing workflows. It alerts developers when bugs are introduced in production, estimates impact and urgency, and helps them quickly identify the root cause of issues. Sentry offers features such as automated tracking of issues in project management tools, automatic resolution of fixes upon deployment, and integration with popular tools like Slack, JIRA, and Datadog to reduce context switching and data silos. It also provides additional structured data about errors, including breadcrumbs and tags, to help developers diagnose and fix issues more efficiently.
