The Future of Application Monitoring

Sentry is advancing towards full application health and unified error monitoring by integrating diverse telemetry data. A key concept in this evolution is the trace ID, which serves as a common link among various data points related to user actions. This interconnectedness enables developers to analyze and compare metrics more effectively, allowing for detailed insights into performance across different scenarios. The emphasis on a cohesive data model helps developers efficiently diagnose issues rather than relying on manual correlation of data across separate systems.
