In the next few issues, I want to cover some "supporting" tools that I use when building web apps. These aren't necessarily essential to the running of a web app but help massively. First up,
Sentry.
Sentry is my go-to error tracking software. It comes with a healthy free plan (5k errors/month included), an easy-to-use and good-looking dashboard, and some great pre-built integrations for popular apps and frameworks. Integrating Sentry into my
Laravel apps has always been a breeze.
It has all sorts of advanced features too, like assigning errors to team members, performance monitoring, version tracking, etc.
