Building Request Metrics

We’ve been working on something big. We’re building Request Metrics, a new service for web performance monitoring. TrackJS is a fantastic tool to understand web page errors, but what if your pages aren’t broken, just slow? What if the checkout page takes 10 seconds to load? What if that user API is slowing down from your recent database change? What pages have the worst user experience? Request Metrics will tell you that.

Effective Profiling in Google Chrome

This blog post will explain how to effectively profile your website so that you can deal with performance pain points. We’ll go through the two most used tools in Google Chrome for profiling: Imagine that you optimized your backend and everything is running smoothly. However, for some reason, the load time of your pages is still unreasonably high. Your users might be experiencing sluggish UI and long load times. This post will help you sort these issues out.

New debugging superpowers with Discover

Sentry makes it pretty easy to connect a customer-facing issue right to the line of code, the release, and even the commit that caused it. At least that’s what developers tell us on Twitter. But you’re rarely working with obvious errors or errors affecting just one user. That’s why we added some new features to Discover and made diagnosing root causes even easier.

Introducing always-on production profiling in Datadog

To complement distributed tracing, runtime metrics, log analytics, synthetic testing, and real user monitoring, we’ve made another addition to the application developer’s toolkit to make troubleshooting performance issues even faster and simpler. Today, we’re excited to introduce Profiling—an always-on, production profiler that enables you to continuously analyze code-level performance across your entire environment, with minimal overhead.

Debugging a Segfault in Rust

In case you missed our pair programming session about how to run, crash, and debug a Native application using Sentry, worry not! Our artificial intelligence Richard — much more intelligent than it thinks — has used its special powers to upload a recording of our session. This time, we chose a very special victim: Symbolicator. That’s the service responsible at Sentry for processing native crash reports.
