In this episode, we talk to Arpad Borsos, Systems Software Engineer at Sentry, about how they use Rust to build a modern error monitoring platform for developers.

We discuss the challenges of building a high-performance, low-latency platform for processing and analyzing large amounts of data (like stack traces and source maps) in real-time.

Arpad maintains the `symbolic` crate for stack trace symbolication, which is used on the Sentry platform.

About Sentry:

Sentry provides application performance monitoring and error tracking software for JavaScript, Python, Ruby, Go, and more. Their platform also supports session replay, profiling, cron monitoring, code coverage, and more.

About Arpad Borsos:

Arpad Borsos works on high-performance, low-latency systems and maintains open source projects like the popular `rust-cache` GitHub Action. He is an expert in asynchronous programming and spoke about async functions at EuroRust 2023.
