Sentry started with error tracking, but it covers a lot more now. Performance monitoring automatically detects issues like N+1 queries, slow database calls, and requests that should be batched. Distributed tracing follows a request across frontend, backend, and mobile app in a single waterfall view. Profiling shows what your code is doing in production at the function level. Session replay records video-like reproductions of user sessions on web and mobile, so you can see happened before, during, and after an error. Logs are structured, searchable, and automatically linked to traces. You also get cron monitoring, uptime monitoring, release health tracking, and Insights dashboards for queries, API requests, frontend assets. Seer, Sentry&#39;s AI debugging agent, uses all of that data to identify root causes and suggest fixes. The real advantage over dedicated tools is that everything is connected: an error links to a replay, which links to a trace, links to a profile and logs. You lose that correlation when your stack is split across separate tools. Check out our product walkthrough to get the latest info: https://docs.sentry.io/product/
