Sentry 9 Delivers APM for Developers

Reduce Time to Resolution from 5 Hours to 5 Minutes

SAN FRANCISCO, May 23, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sentry, the only APM for developers, announced today the release of Sentry 9, designed to cut time to resolution for application errors from five hours to five minutes. For development teams struggling to minimize the impact of production issues and improve both user experience and developer efficiency, Sentry 9 turns application errors into simple iterations that can be resolved within the current development workflow. 

"Braintree's culture of quality and white-glove service at-scale drives an intense focus on the reliability of our production code. Resolving application issues quickly is one of our most important concerns because, at our scale, an error in production can mean thousands of failed transactions per second," said Lucas Willett  Observability Engineering Manager at Braintree. “Sentry allows us to focus on the actual root causes of an issue rather than the noise, and without losing any relevant exception data. We can capture every exception, get the context we need to understand the size and impact of the error, work with other teams quickly to resolve, and monitor for similar issues over time.”

Approximately 90% of software issues are a result of code errors. However, monitoring tools have historically catered to systems and infrastructure concerns, not the application, leaving product teams to spend valuable hours investigating the details of every issue.

Sentry automatically aggregates errors and adds complete context in real time, so your product team can resolve bugs before customers even experience an issue. Sentry uniquely shows you who wrote the code, when in your release history, where in the stack trace, and what app logic is broken. Immediately see which errors are doing the most harm to your business.

100% open-source Sentry 9 provides greater context and relevance to any code issue so that developers can proactively correct problems without the disruption of triage and reproduction. Sentry 9’s new features include:

Owners: Connect issues to specific engineers or teams with explicit knowledge of how the problematic code works and the greatest ability to fix it fast.
Releases: Complementary to Owners, this connects each issue to the commit that introduced the bug in order to kick off remediation.
Environments: Quickly understand where in the lifecycle a problem occurred by aggregating issues based on environment — whether internal, test, canary, demo, or production.
Teams: Assign teams as actors for specific issues in order to improve triage and communications.
Enhanced Slack Integration: Send specific error alerts to specific channels based on context and the new Teams feature to streamline assignment and management.

“Modern engineering teams understand that code in production needs to be as close to bug-free as possible so it can meet the demands of users around the world,” said David Cramer, CEO of Sentry. “No release is without dependencies, so looking forward to production at every stage of development is the most effective way to avoid breaking your app and tying up your org for hours or days. Sentry is building a platform that reduces application issues in a way doesn’t disrupt, but ultimately increases, the speed and quality of development.”
