How does Sentry monitor your app?

Sentry is a powerful application monitoring and error tracking platform that provides developers with invaluable insights into their applications' performance and stability. With Sentry, you can proactively identify and resolve issues, from application crashes to code errors, ensuring a seamless and error-free user experience. Its intuitive tools, advanced analytics, and machine learning capabilities make it an indispensable ally for any development team striving for top-notch software quality.

Does Sentry have AI tools or solutions? 

Sentry utilizes advanced technologies, including machine learning, to gain deeper insights into the root causes of crashes. In line with their commitment to innovation, Sentry applies machine learning in various key areas, enhancing monitoring tools for improved performance (source: sentry.io):

Application-wide auto-detection of issues without user setup

1. Automatic correlation to immediately identify potential "needle in a haystack" root causes
2. Anomaly detection that considers trends and seasonality
3. Outlier detection for monitoring large, dynamic fleets
4. Forecasting to prevent bottlenecks
5. Root cause analysis for immediate diagnosis

Use goast.ai to automatically generate fixes for Sentry error

goast.ai integrates with all widely adopted crash monitoring solutions, including Sentry. Here’s how our crash fixing solution works in five simple steps:

1. Connect goast.ai to Sentry
2. Connect goast.ai to your GitHub repository
3. goast.ai automatically pulls real-time error data from Sentry
4. From the ingested error data and codebase context gathering, we generate a fix
5. Once the fix is generated, a developer can edit it if needed and submit a pull request.
