What's the difference between API Latency and API Response Time?

Your app’s networking directly affects the user experience of your app. Imagine having to wait a few seconds for the page to load. Or even worse, imagine waiting for a few seconds every time you perform an action. It would be infuriating! Before you go on a fixing adventure, it’s a good idea to understand what causes that waiting time. So let’s do that!

September Product Updates for Sentry

It’s official, summer is over. So grab yourself a pumpkin-spiced food item of choice and check out what the Sentry team has been up to this past month. From introducing new features, product improvements, and integrations, we can objectively say we made Sentry at least a smidge better this month. Keep reading to see how the latest developments can make your debugging experience less painful.

How to identify and fix Render-Blocking Resources

Render-blocking resources are JavaScript and CSS files that prevent the web page from loading until they are downloaded. These might be critical resources that don’t get loaded immediately, or non-critical resources that are being loaded at the very beginning. Fixing render-blocking JavaScript and CSS helps improve page load times so sneakerheads don’t bounce to your competitor’s site while waiting for the images of the latest drop to load.

Flutter Debugging: Top Tips and Tools You Need to Know

Modern applications are complex inter-connected collections of services and moving parts that all have the potential to fail or not work as expected. Flutter and the language it’s built upon, Dart, are designed for event-driven, concurrent, and, most crucially, performant apps. It’s important for any developer using them to have a decent selection of debug tools.

From LCP to CLS: Improve your Core Web Vitals with Image Loading Best Practices

If you’re a front end developer, there’s a high probability you’ve built (or will build) an image-heavy page. And you’ll need to make it look great by serving high-quality image files. But you’ll also need to prioritize building a high-quality user experience by making sure your Core Web Vitals such as Cumulative Layout Shift and Largest Contentful Paint aren’t negatively affected, which also help with your search engine rankings.

Find Trending Problems Faster with Escalating Issues

Knowing what issues to hit the snooze button on, or drop everything and push a hotfix for is a common developer dilemma. Similarly to what was discussed in Sleep More; Triage Faster with Sentry, we’ve been collecting and iterating on customer feedback for ways to reduce issue noise and surface high-priority issues faster.

How to Fix Source Map Upload Errors

A stack trace lacking your source code with all the variables and function names, is like putting together a jigsaw puzzle without a picture for reference. You have all these randomly shaped pieces but no way to know how they fit together. Unless you are fluent in computer, making sense of a JavaScript stack trace with minified code is going to make debugging very difficult. Thankfully, by uploading source maps to Sentry, you can map back to the original source code to make sense of what went wrong.
