For js error tracking, how does this compare to trackjs now?



Same goals, different approach. Our JS support is extremely mature at this point and you'll find that out of the box we'll do a great job at catching errors in your application. In many situations you won't even need to do anything beyond toss in a couple script tags.

That said we also support a lot of advanced scenarios:

- Embedded/shipped code (i.e. PhoneGap, React-Native)

- Minified code via sourcemaps (use webpack? it "just works")

- Private source code (sourcemaps uploadable via artifacts, authentication tokens)

One thing that trackjs does and we don't is provide "breadcrumbs". In reality we haven't seen it be that useful, but it's something we're exploring.


Sentry's sourcemap support is one of my favorite features. After spending years poring over cryptic minified exception messages, I finally set up Sentry for my latest JS frontend. It's glorious to get a nicely formatted traceback containing actual source code lines.
