2019 has been a fun year for Sentry, and we’re only a third of the way through it. In four short months, we released a feature set focused on visibility as well as the new Sentry Integration Platform. In between the big stuff, we shipped the following changelog from the past month. Enjoy.

You probably use many tools to get you through the day. Do you ever wonder what tools get other people through their days? In our Tools This Engineer Uses series, we explore the routines, systems, and tools your peers rely on to solve problems and accomplish goals.

Since Sentry started, people have been asking us to build integrations for their favorite services. We get it — developer tools are always better when they work together. As Socrates said, teamwork makes the dream work. We like to help out, and that’s why today we’re launching the Sentry Integration Platform. Now you have the power to build the kind of integrations you want to see in Sentry. No need to wait around for us to do it.

Kubernetes, like a lot of other tools, can be noisy. Errors and warnings often go completely unnoticed in the event stream. Or sometimes they are noticed, but are hard to understand in the context of what else is happening in the cluster. Sentry, unlike a lot of other tools, works to eliminate that noise as much as possible, including Kubernetes-related noise.

Sentry helps developers monitor and fix crashes in real-time. Of course, finding and fixing bugs with Sentry is easier when Sentry itself is set up in a way that minimizes disruption. Our help center and documentation can help with that. We’ve also put together a list of the most common issues our Support team works on with Sentry customers that you’ll find useful (or, at least we hope you do).

Remember Microsoft’s trusty assistant, the annoying/endearing Clippy? We built something similar for the modern web, minus the annoying parts, and discovered that, if done right, it can increase user engagement and success with your product.

Imagine, you dear reader, have an e-commerce website (it’s 2019, after all) where you sell artisanal hot dogs. This site is built on several services that talk to each other to make sure your customers can easily purchase their organic, grass-fed hot dogs.
