This guide provides instructions for setting up an environment for developing, debugging, and programming embedded systems firmware in the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL2). WSL2 provides a convenient and stable Linux development environment for working on embedded systems firmware. If you’re curious about toolchain performance, check out this comparison of firmware development environments, but the summary is that WSL2 is about 2x the speed of Windows and similar to “bare metal” Linux.

Snuba, the primary storage and query service for event data that powers Sentry in production, has historically been doing rate limiting under the hood, making it hard to discover and increasing time to resolve customer support requests.

You got tired of not getting query results.
