Seer Agent: Get Answers. Take Action.

This video walks through what it looks like to treat Sentry's Seer agent the way you already treat a chatbot, asking it plain language questions about your own production application. From Slack or inside your Sentry account, Seer Agent can answer questions with real context: the affected spans, the recent release, the likely cause. Seer doesn't stop at answering questions. Ask it to act on what it just told you and it completes that work inside Sentry, serving as an assistant to your projects, team workflows, and your future self.

Unreal MCP now speaks Sentry

Setting up crash reporting is rarely the most exciting part of shipping a game. Paste a DSN, flip a few checkboxes in Project Settings, turn on symbol upload, package a build, crash it on purpose and check that the event shows up in Sentry… It’s not hard to do (and important), but it’s the kind of work you’d happily hand off to someone else. With Unreal Engine 5.8, that someone else can be your coding agent.

Seer, the Sentry MCP and CLI, or your own coding agent: where each one fits

I’ve been getting some version of this question a lot lately, mostly in our Seer preview webinars. Different audiences, same handful of questions: Worth answering all three in one place. Honestly, I needed to write this down for myself too. Things are moving fast around all of us and answers seem to get more nuanced by the week. This is an attempt to codify the difference: what each option is and when it makes sense to reach for one over the other.

How Etsy gets its mobile apps ready for peak traffic

Most advice about surviving a traffic spike is about capacity. Scale the fleet, warm the caches, load test the checkout path. All of it assumes you can fix whatever breaks the moment you find it. Mobile apps don’t work that way. I spent an hour on a workshop with Jay Henry, a senior engineering manager at Etsy who owns engineering strategy across three teams covering CI, build, test, release, observe, and SRE. Jay’s take: a web team having a bad day can revert in minutes.

Debugging a checkout latency spike with Sentry metrics

Checkout suddenly got a lot slower for a chunk of users, and the only clue was a spike in an application metric. In this walkthrough, we go from that spike to a linked trace that shows exactly where the time went. Using Codex alongside Sentry, we dig into the trace data, isolate the slowdown to the European backend, and follow it down to a single Stripe request that's dragging everyone down with it. Along the way, we talk through what actually helps here: caching, timeouts, async calls, and other ways to keep one slow dependency from becoming everyone's problem.

Big improvements to Seer Agent

Today marks exactly five months since we launched Seer Agent, our friendly AI agent for querying all things in your Sentry projects (well, five months and a day ago, but close enough). Since then, we’ve had a lot of chats with Seer Agent. You may have even seen a few of them popping up on social media recently. It’s become an integral part of our debugging workflows and feature iteration process.

Protecting releases, fixing bugs with Sentry & LaunchDarkly

As fast as AI can generate code, getting that code to production still tends to slow things down. It makes sense. When code breaks in production it’s not just a nuisance; it’s a full-blown incident. And can have big impacts for your company and customers. The question really is, can you catch broken code as quickly as you can ship it? In this livestream, Peter McCarron, Technical Product Marketing at Sentry, is joined by Tom Totenberg, Head of Release Automation at LaunchDarkly, to talk about how you can automatically protect new releases from code merge to error detection.
