Sentry Extends Application Performance Monitoring Tool

Sentry this week announced it has added support for applications that employ serverless computing frameworks as well as the Google Web Vitals service to its application monitoring tool. Company CEO Milin Desai said incorporating Google Web Vitals metrics into Sentry Performance Monitoring will become crucial as Google makes good on a pledge to rank websites and applications on its search engine based on the metrics it collects via this service.

That capability enables developers to more easily determine when changes to the overall IT environment are adversely impacting their applications.

In general, Desai said there is not enough focus on enabling observability for application developers versus IT operations teams. Sentry Performance Monitoring is designed to enable developers to correlate specific events occurring within their code to actual end user experiences by adding five lines of code to their applications.
