Modern applications span dozens of services, queues, and databases. Sentry's distributed tracing follows requests end-to-end so you can pinpoint exactly where slowdowns and failures originate. It works across frontend, backend, mobile, and AI agents running inside your app.
Application Observability
Traditional observability gives you more to accumulate: more dashboards, more silos, more tabs. Sentry connects errors, traces, logs, replays, and application metrics into workflows and issues so you can actually fix things faster.

Trace requests across your entire stack
One place for errors, traces, logs, replays, and metrics
Stop copying trace IDs between tools
Logs, errors, traces, and metrics usually live in separate panes that don't talk to each other. Sentry connects all of these signals, including high-cardinality application metrics that link back to traces, so you can go from symptom to root cause in one place. You can also send existing logs to Sentry via log drains, so your whole team is looking at the same data.
Catch issues before users report them
Detect regressions at deploy time
Sentry detects regressions the moment they appear, not when a customer opens a support ticket. Anomaly detection surfaces latency spikes and error rate changes without manual threshold configuration. Performance Insights automatically finds N+1 queries, slow database calls, and render-blocking operations, ranked by user impact.
Cookbook recipes
Adopt structured logging for faster debugging
Replace noisy console.log and print statements with structured, queryable log events in Sentry using stable event names, dot-notated keys, and request context.
Replace console.log with structured, trace-connected logging using LogTape and Sentry
Set up LogTape with Sentry to replace console.log with structured, trace-connected logging. Query, alert on, and debug production issues with high-cardinality log data.
Build a dashboard and alert from custom metrics in a Next.js app
Emit a custom metric from your Next.js app, build a dashboard around it, and add a threshold or anomaly-detection alert that fires the moment it drifts.
Monitor Neon Functions with Sentry
Add error tracking, structured logs, request tracing, and AI agent observability to your Neon Functions using the Sentry Node SDK.
Set up a monitor and alert from a Supabase log drain
Drain Supabase logs into Sentry, filter by severity and message, then create threshold monitors and alerts that notify your team when patterns change.
- Separate tools for errors, traces, logs, and metrics.
- Requires agents, sidecars, and complex configuration.
- Dashboards show metrics, not where the problem is in your code.
- Threshold-based alerts that require manual tuning.
- Pricing scales with data volume in ways that are hard to predict.
- Errors, traces, logs, replays, and high-cardinality application metrics connected in one workflow.
- SDK-based setup. Install and go, no infrastructure to manage.
- Every issue and every metric links to the exact function, file, and commit.
- Anomaly detection with no manual threshold configuration.
- Transparent, predictable pricing with a generous free tier.
