Does Sentry handle distributed tracing well? We're also already using OpenTelemetry, wondering if we'd have to re-instrument everything or if it works with our existing setup._ Yes, and the OpenTelemetry question is probably the more useful one to answer first: No, you don't need to re-instrument. Sentry supports OTLP, so you can point your existing OTel setup at Sentry and your traces will show up without touching your instrumentation. Docs here: https://docs.sentry.io/concepts/otlp/ On distributed tracing: it follows requests across services end-to-end, so you can see exactly where a transaction slowed down or broke and which service caused it. In a microservices setup the useful part is that errors don't show up in isolation, you get the full request path that led to them. And if you're already using Sentry for errors, that context lives in the same place. Same issue, same trace.

Curious how it compares to something like Datadog or New Relic, is it a full observability platform or more of a debugging tool?_ Sentry covers errors, performance, traces, logs, metrics, session replay, and profiling. But what sets it apart is the debugging-first approach. Instead of staring at dashboards, Sentry connects a slow endpoint or spike in errors directly to the code, stack trace, and release that caused it. Seer, Sentry's AI agent, goes a step further by analyzing errors automatically, identifying root causes, and suggesting fixes before you even start debugging. The recently launched metrics product lets you track application metrics alongside your error and performance data, so you get the full picture without switching tools. For developers looking to consolidate, it replaces separate error tracking, APM, and metrics tools with one platform built around finding and fixing issues faster.

No separate tools or vendors needed. Web frontend: SDKs for JavaScript, React, Angular, Vue, Svelte, and more. You get error monitoring, performance tracing, and session replays, among many other things. Backend services: First-party SDKs for Python, Node.js, Java, Go, Ruby, .NET, PHP (including Laravel), and others. Each includes error monitoring, performance tracing, and profiling. Mobile: SDKs for native iOS (Swift/Obj-C), native Android (Kotlin/Java), React Native, Flutter, and Kotlin Multiplatform. Mobile SDKs also include session replay. The part that matters for a mixed stack: Sentry's distributed tracing connects requests across all of these services automatically. A trace that starts in your mobile app or browser flows through your backend services, so you see the full picture in one place. With current SDK versions, this works without any custom wiring. It also supports desktop apps and gaming engines. You don't need separate setups for each part of your stack. On the organization side, you'd create a Sentry project per service or platform (one for your React frontend, one for your Python API, one for your iOS app). They all live under one org with shared dashboards that span across projects. One place for everything.
