Shipping clean, safe, and correct code is a high priority for engineering at Sentry. Bugs are best discovered before they hit production because afterward they have real user impact and can drain even a high-performing team’s resources quickly. The later in the development cycle a bug is found, the longer it will take to fix.

At Atlassian, we’re big believers in open work. We’ve seen how our teams and our customers’ teams achieve more when collaboration and communication are at the foundation of everything they do. We know that having the right set of integrated tools is critical to moving work forward.
