Okay, let's talk.
Hey friends, I'm here with Dave Rosenthal, CTO of Sentry.
So Dave, I know lots of developers know about Sentry, know about the platform.
Because, hey, we use Sentry and we love Sentry.
And I know tracing is one of the next big frontiers for Sentry.
Why add tracing to the platform?
Why tracing and why now?
When we first.
launched the ability to collect tracing data,
we were really emphasizing the performance aspect of that,
the kind of application performance monitoring aspect.
Because you have these things that are spans that measure how long something takes.
And so the natural thing is to try to graph their durations and think about their durations and warn somebody
if the durations are getting too long.
But what we've realized is that the performance stuff ends up being just a bunch of gauges to look at.
