Customer Story: How App Nouveau Canada Creates Specialized Software with Sentry Error Monitoring

App Nouveau is a Canadian professional services company that builds transportation management system software. As developers of highly-specialized software solutions, App Nouveau needs a robust error monitoring tool to deliver world-class code required by its commercial clients. App Nouveau recently began using Sentry to uplevel a few key areas in the code development lifecycle. Chief Technical Officer Paito Anderson and his team decided to switch to Sentry just a few months ago.

Dogfooding Chronicles: Thinking Backward, Moving Forward

Zac Propersi, Engineering Manager at Sentry, can tell when a page is not loading as fast as it should — just by looking at it. While working on our new Metric Alerts feature, Zac noticed that the alerts pages were rendering slowly. Being the super Sentry user that he is, he wrote a custom query in Discover to see just how slow the transactions were.

Self-Hosted Sentry switching to CalVer

Since the beginning, Sentry has adopted SemVer (semantic versioning) for all of its open source releases — major versions indicated breaking, backward-incompatible changes; minor versions meant new features, and patch releases were bug fixes only. This process worked fine for a long time. As the open source project evolved and grew into Sentry.io – our SaaS offering – the development team switched to a continuous delivery model.

Building an Observable Enterprise App

Once an app is launched to market, it’s up to the engineering team to ensure that it continues to meet its SLAs. See how we use VMware Tanzu Observability (Wavefront) and Sentry to proactively monitor and fix issues before they become production problems. Every engineering leader has experienced the anxiety and stress of taking an app to production. It’s a mix of excitement and trepidation – your creation will be used in real life, but what if something goes wrong?

Get a jump on errors with Sentry and Atlassian

Recently, Atlassian announced 12 new features to help improve collaboration across software teams. These new capabilities and some help from Sentry & friends aim to help developers spend more time building the products and services their customers want. Here’s a more detailed look at how Sentry integrates with Atlassian products and leverages Bitbucket’s new Code Insights feature.

Access commit data for each release with Sentry and Heroku

Heroku is a fully managed, container-based, cloud platform for deploying and running modern apps. Heroku takes an app-centric approach to software delivery and integrates with today’s most popular developer tools and workflows. One of today’s (and yesterday’s and tomorrow’s) most popular developer tools is Sentry.

Automating Sentry Releases with our Netlify Build Plugin

Netlify allows developers and businesses to publish modern web projects right from your git repos. There’s nothing to set up & no servers to maintain. This past month, Netlify launched Build Plugins, which allows Netlify users to automate and customize their build processes. We loved what the Netlify team was building and how they were automating tedious tasks for developers. So we built the Sentry Netlify Build Plugin!
