Today in the @laravelphp.bsky.social world... @sentry.io just dropped a new Insights page for Laravel devs.
Instantly start tracking:
- Requests and errors
- Duration broken down by route / endpoint
- Job throughput and more
... all with deep-dive-able queries for Laravel apps. Check it:

Track & debug your app performance with Sentry Mobile Vitals Tired of 1-star reviews blaming slow app loads? Sentry Mobile Vitals sniffs out sluggish starts & renders (before users rage-quit, obviously)

shipping a mobile update isn’t “push to prod" - it’s offering a sacrifice to the app store gods and praying users don’t riot.

mobile vitals helps you catch slow starts, laggy screens, and janky frames before the 1-star reviews start rolling in, check it out:

Find and Fix Performance Bottlenecks with Sentry’s Trace Explorer We’ve all worked on that app that hangs just a little too long in weird places, or had that query we could never get to perform just right. The network waterfal...

You can now query & aggregate your spans to calculate metrics, make custom alerts & dashboards, and yes... sort them by timestamp :)

One of my favourite lil’ side projects was a synthesizer I built almost a decade ago.

I’m digging into the code, and it’s actually not terrible? I’m surprised. 😂

How Profiling helped fix slowness in Sentry's AI Autofix There’s a common misunderstanding that profiling is only useful for tiny savings that impact infra costs at scale - the so-called “milliseconds matter” approach...

in 20 minutes, we saved 20 seconds off each AI-generated autofix with code profiling in @sentry.io. Your turn:

Don’t let flaky tests disrupt continuous integration Testing is supposed to help you ship better code, faster. But unreliable tests can leave you rerunning CI, wading through flakes, and…

@codecov.bsky.social is hosting a great workshop on how to find & fix flaky tests on Jan 8th - come by to learn how to keep your CI running smooth no matter how complex your codebase gets! Reserve your spot: sentry.io/resources/fl...

hi everybody, the paper of record with sources embedded all throughout international geopolitics here. have you uh ... have you ever tried wwii-era siege cuisine? no reason, just uh, you know

Figure out what to cache server-side - make your users happy with a faster site & boss happy with lower infra costs

Using server-side caching to speed up your applications, save on infra costs, and deliver better UX If you’ve ever been floored by a sub-100ms response time, you’ve likely got caching to thank. Caching is the unsung hero of performance, shaving precious millis...

new post on finding caching opportunities! I go through some common patterns you can see in a Sentry waterfall, in particular - sequential / repeated queries, overused queries, etc. Take a read! blog.sentry.io/using-server...

Alllllll of the updates are pushed!

If you generally like my blog and want to use the template for yourself, it now has all of the latest versions and updates from @astro.build and TinaCMS, and I added a few quality-of-life improvements as well.

Go blog!

it's time

the sentry devrel team (@whitep4nth3r.com , @guthals.com , @nikolovlazar.com) does an absolutely kick-ass job at creating our devrel experience, far beyond just cranking out (insanely good) content.
if you're also in this world, this is worth a read!!

I had all day carved out to setup @sentry.io for my FastAPI app but it only took me 15min, what am I suppose to do now?

Missing indexes are slowing down your database - here's how to find and fix them with Sentry Slow queries hurt your database performance and frustrate users. Diagnose and fix missing indexes to fix slowdowns with Sentry.

Optimizing type perf is like an even less intuitive version of optimizing code for V8.

Some stuff that looks super expensive is actually irrelevant; some stuff that looks innocuous is actually a massive problem.

All you can do is learn heuristics, iterate and pray 🙏

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.

We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

Huge tracing waterfall, making a bajillion calls to the database

There are only four calls to the database in this trace

hello, I would like to present the best DB optimisation I have ever done, thanks to @sentry.io tracing and NoSQL support

Here's a before and after:

this is so sick - optimizing slow DB calls is usually just a jira ticket
