  14. Production Debugging with Sentry
    Production Debugging with Sentry
    A Practical SRE Playbook for Tracing, Logging, Profiling and Alerting Across Full-Stack Production Systems
    GitforGits | Asian Publishing House

    A brilliant engineer with no evidence is reduced to guessing, while an ordinary engineer with good evidence looks like a genius. Everything in this book is an attempt to get you to think differently. You don't need a huge team to do this. You don't need to get anyone's approval for a budget, and you don't have to rewrite any services. What you need is a system that tells you the truth about itself, and you need it before the incident rather than during it.As a team, we'll build that system together on one small storefront, and we'll do it the way real teams build, which is to say not perfectly but in order.
