Sentry, also known as Sentry.io, is a privately owned software development company founded in 2011. Headquartered in the US, it employs approximately 280 people. The company's primary product is an application monitoring platform designed to assist developers in improving the performance of their code.
Sentry released error monitoring and crash reporting for major gaming consoles, including a version 1.1 of its Unreal Engine SDK, on an unspecified date. A customer previously integrated Sentry into their PlayStation 3 games over a decade ago. Separately, improved observability and tracing support for SvelteKit was announced, enhancing compatibility with Sentry. This makes SvelteKit the first ESM-based meta-framework to offer built-in instrumentation and tracing. The importance of quickly identifying and resolving software errors, especially during peak traffic periods like Black Friday, was highlighted. Examples of software errors include logic errors, failed HTTP requests, and background job failures.
