Sentry announced the latest release of its JavaScript SDK, which adds Sentry’s Release Health capabilities to its error and performance monitoring offering.

Software teams can gather specific, actionable insights to resolve the most impactful errors, quickly investigate slowdowns, and effortlessly track the success of releases over time, all with just eight lines of code.

With Release Health now configured by default, teams can track the stability and version adoption of an application in real time. Developers can immediately surface issues in the latest release and pinpoint exactly where a release begins to degrade with insights about version adoption and session data. This enables teams to remediate issues that have the most impact on users, analyze how releases perform over time, and free up developers to work on value-adding projects.

“Code is increasingly becoming the center of every customer experience, and when it fails, business fails,” said Milin Desai, CEO, Sentry. “With Sentry for JavaScript, application monitoring is more than just a failsafe for frontend development — extending Release Health capabilities to JavaScript projects is key to helping developers understand how each release is performing and what’s required to deploy more frequently.”

Sentry for JavaScript links error monitoring and performance monitoring along with Release Health insights, providing product owners with a complete picture of application health across every possible platform for their products. When end users experience errors, delays, or downtime, product teams no longer need a host of disparate tools to investigate and resolve problems. Sentry’s capabilities empower developers to quickly and efficiently determine who is impacted, and to what extent, and whether or not the problem is a bug or simply inefficient code.

Organizations worldwide rely on Sentry application monitoring to provide context and insight, reducing time to remediation and keeping code performing flawlessly. The addition of Sentry Performance Monitoring enables engineering and development teams to more quickly identify performance issues by tracing them to poor-performing API calls along with related errors. Sentry can also help them surface trends to proactively prevent future performance issues, saving time and dramatically reducing costs.

With Release Health now configured by default, teams can track how a product release is trending from the very second it’s live to the point it starts to erode. This allows them to more quickly detect bad releases by gauging the levels of adoption and the percentage of crash-free sessions and crash-free users, accelerating continuous deployment efforts.

Armed with insights, product teams can prevent costly downtime and meet high customer expectations while maximizing efficiency and improving their workflows so that more time can be spent creating new services and applications that add business value.
