What Sentry Performance is
Sentry Performance is an application performance monitoring service for developers investigating bottlenecks in applications and distributed systems. It connects performance problems with related errors, transactions, and code details so teams can assess user impact and investigate fixes. Trace views and code context help identify slow database queries, API calls, and associated code lines. Distributed tracing follows requests across services to locate where latency or errors arise. Teams can prioritize issues by user impact and create custom metrics and alerts. Listed integrations include GitHub, Jira, Slack, GitLab, Linear, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty, Datadog, and Vercel, with OpenTelemetry support. The cloud service runs on Google Cloud Platform using a multi-tenant architecture. An open-source self-hosted option is available for teams keeping data in their infrastructure. The Developer plan is free with monthly usage quotas; paid plans start at $26/mo. Business has a free trial, Team does not, and one-time trial extensions last 14 days. Trace retention is 90 days.
