Whether a team is one person or one hundred, automated testing uncovers issues in an application before the code is deployed to production. The earlier a problem is diagnosed, the cheaper and less impact it has on you (the developer) and the organization.

Over a year ago, we first announced support for Minidumps in Sentry, which allows you to debug crashes from applications written in languages like C, C++, Objective-C and more — regardless of whether you’re targeting Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, or Android.

Welcome to our series of blog posts about all the nitty-gritty details that go into building a great debug experience at scale. This time, we’re going to cover RAM bundles, which Sentry recently started to support to improve the debugging experience of React Native projects.

For most of 2018, we worked on an overhaul of our underlying event storage system. We’d like to introduce you to the result of this work — Snuba, the primary storage and query service for event data that powers Sentry in production. Backed by ClickHouse, an open source column-oriented database management system, Snuba is now used for search, graphs, issue detail pages, rule processing queries, and every feature mentioned in our push for greater visibility.

We recently tagged our final point release in the Sentry’s 9.x series. Just like old versions of Sentry, this includes a huge swath of bug fixes, improvements, and new features. If you’re on our cloud service, you’ve had access to these (and newer features) for quite a while due to the way we cycle features out. If you’re updating from a previous version of self-hosted Sentry and interested in the major highlights, take a look at our changelog.

So you want to A/B test your web app. The idea is simple, but the details can get messy, and you don’t want to re-invent the wheel. Services like Optimizely are pretty good, but they can be expensive and full of features you don’t need immediately. In this post, we’ll share how Sentry wrote an experimentation system with minimal work.

We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again — teamwork makes the dream work. Nothing quite says teamwork like a software development project management tool that focuses heavily on enabling every person on every team to work collaboratively. In this case, that tool is Clubhouse, who also just happens to be an early adopter for the Sentry Integration Platform.
