Does it seem like every day we’re doing the same quick fixes? Deleting temporary files to free up space in a file system, bouncing a server, restarting a queue. Over and over. Whether automating these simple tasks or not, you’re responding to incidents that have already affected someone instead of making changes to prevent them from ever happening again.

Sentry helps developers monitor and fix crashes in real-time. Of course, finding and fixing bugs with Sentry is easier when Sentry itself is set up in a way that minimizes disruption.

Here’s a quick snapshot of the news milestones that made the month of March.

Ensuring your apps work as designed and deliver a productive user experience starts with monitoring applications metrics. This helps you understand whether your software is performing at optimal levels. Many developers use JBoss (now called WildFly and maintained by Red Hat) to build, deploy, and host transactional applications written in Java.

As infrastructure has evolved and matured over the last decade, the way in which we build and deploy that infrastructure has — for the most part — kept pace. As the velocity of deployments increased, and practices such as continuous deployment and delivery became the norm, it became critical that we manage infrastructure and deploy applications in a similar way.
