You’re a very good developer… Probably. Regardless, your applications break and crash. That’s unavoidable. What is avoidable is wasting time trying to track down the cause of those crashes. Sentry.io provides full stack error tracking that lets you monitor and fix problems in real time. See the severity and scope of the error, get immediate access to the call stack, connect the problem directly to the commit that caused it, and fix it without delay
