Introducing Application Metrics: Track the signal, see the spike, jump to the trace
Sentry launched Application Metrics to capture application signals without pre-aggregating counters or discarding high-cardinality attributes like user IDs, project IDs, and regions. The system supports counters, distributions, and gauges within the existing SDK while linking each metric event directly to trace IDs for integrated debugging. Engineers demonstrated the feature by troubleshooting a Session Replay failure that triggered silently when sessions exceeded 1,000 video segments. By instrumenting distributions for replay event counts with project and replay attributes, the team isolated seven affected occurrences, navigated to connected traces and log lines, and reproduced the issue. Application Metrics comes enabled in recent SDK versions with 5GB included per plan.

Two commands to Sentry: now on Stripe Projects
Sentry is now integrated into Stripe Projects, enabling developers and coding agents to discover, provision, and manage Sentry services directly through the command-line interface. Running initialization and addition commands automatically sets up accounts, generates necessary environment variables like auth tokens and DSNs, and scaffolds agent skill files for tools such as Claude Code and Cursor. The integration supports plan upgrades, downgrades, and the addition of the Seer AI debugging assistant with billing handled through existing Stripe payment methods. Additional CLI capabilities include minting single-use magic login URLs for the Sentry dashboard, managing multi-member team collaboration tied to Stripe organizations, and rotating project credentials directly into local environment files.
