Sentry provides an open-source-rooted application monitoring platform that helps developers detect, diagnose and fix errors and optimise code performance in production.
Sentry builds the application monitoring platform that grew out of one of the software world's most widely adopted open-source projects. Founded in 2012 as a two-person passion project solving a narrow problem - tracking errors in production - it now spans error tracking, crash reporting, application performance monitoring and broader observability, giving engineers a direct line of sight from a symptom in production to the code that caused it.
The reach of the platform is considerable. More than four million developers and over 100,000 organisations rely on Sentry, which processes billions of events every day. That volume is the substance of the engineering work here: systems that must ingest, index and make actionable an enormous stream of failure data without losing the traceability that makes it useful. For engineers who want their craft tested at scale, few environments are as demanding or as concrete.
Sentry's stated mission is unglamorous and precise - saving developers time, energy and stress by cutting the hours lost to diagnosing production failures and optimising slow code. The company operates from four global offices and remains rooted in the developer-tooling and software-development industries it serves. Its products are built for engineers by engineers, and the standard against which work is measured is whether it makes debugging faster for the people on the other side of the screen.
