Sentry
From error tracking to performance monitoring, developers can see what actually matters, solve quicker, and learn continuously about their applications - from the frontend to the backend.

• Source code, error filters, stack locals — Sentry enhances application performance monitoring with stack traces.
• Quickly identify performance issues before they become downtime. 
• Breadcrumbs make application development a little easier by showing you the trails of events that lead to the error(s).
• Real-time application monitoring means data, in real-time. 
• Dashboards add a visual element to our application monitoring.

Over 1M developers and 80K organizations already ship better software faster with Sentry application monitoring.
