‍ The solution: We can use Sentry to track specific errors that occur on production and Hosted Graphite's Sentry webhook add-on to add annotations to our system performance graphs. This way, we can correlate when a specific error occurs with our system usage spikes. ‍ Sentry is an application that alerts you when an app gets an error. It can also alert you to specific mistakes so you can see when and where something broke.

Monitoring the health of your API endpoints is crucial to keeping your applications running smoothly and ensuring users have a reliable experience. Keeping an eye on 4XX and 5XX status codes can help you spot issues like client errors, misconfigurations, or server problems before they get out of hand. Plus, setting up alerts for when these errors spike allows you to react quickly, fix problems, and maintain a high-quality service that your users can count on.
