I also recommend Sentry in a lot of projects. The happy path they have created is fantastic, they've grown it out into performance metrics and it looks like they're gonna compete with Datadog and NewRelic on the APM front soon enough.

They've not sold me on that, but their error tracking and the management around it is good enough. Their search interface and the fingerprinting sucks major ass though: most of the time when you click on a Sentry alert you'll actually find a different error.

The UI is basically only good for reacting to immediate alerts. But when you get one of those, you get a lot of info to work with.




I’ve been running Sentry (cloud and self hosted) for various Python apps since 2014 and haven’t had any issues with the fingerprinting. Maybe a language or project specific issue?

Isn't that a scoping error on your side? We run the on-prem version at work, and the only time I've seen anything like this is when there weren't different scopes for each goroutine and the error messages got mixed up.


hi @tjm out of curiosity which SDK(s) are you working with?

*disclaimer:i work for sentry
