Healthchecks VS Sentry

In fact, your platform (https://healthchecks.io/) is a prime example of where running customer wasm would be really excellent.

Instead of sending webhooks out to customer configured URLs, you could run a Wasm environment to execute customer code. Off hand, a good use case here is to do further inspection of the event before it gets sent off to some other system - maybe there are cases where you send false-positives and needlessly trigger external system alerts. The customer Wasm could do more introspection on the healthcheck event and make a more informed decision about how to proceed.

i use healthchecks.io and have been very happy

Is there anything different from https://healthchecks.io/ --- a service I've been using for free for a couple years now?

Because of this block on the router, and the fact that IPv6 connections are by default preferred over IPv4, many things on the system now cannot access the internet. the only things that can access the internet are for accessing servers that ONLY support IPv4 like my mail.smpt2go or my uptime monitoring scripts for healthchecks.io.

i use https://healthchecks.io/ and highly recommend it.

We use a heartbeat system. Basically the monitoring continuously sends an alert to a healtcheck system. If that heartbeat fails, PagerDuty sends an alert to the oncall.

i like healthchecks.io

There are some good (free!) monitors out there, I have used and like healthchecks.io and cronitor.io

First, sign up for a free account at https://sentry.io. Create a new project and make note of your DSN (Data Source Name).

Using APM tools like NewRelic, Sentry, Datadog, etc to monitor the performance of your application and while you're on it, they can help you identify N+1 queries.

However, ensuring the reliability and performance of your Next.js app is equally crucial. That’s where Sentry comes into play. Combined with Sentry, an industry-leading error monitoring platform, Next.js empowers developers to proactively identify and resolve issues that may arise in their applications. In this article, we’ll explore how to integrate Sentry into your Next.js project for effective error monitoring and performance optimization.

Sentry: Error monitoring for applications, including APIs. Also offers application performance monitoring (APM).

Indeed, webapps are not immune to distribution problems. Wayward and invasive browser extensions are a clear threat, as are 3rd-party dependencies (and their dependencies) loaded at runtime. Which is why companies like https://sentry.io exist. I think the difference is that webapps are "distributable by default" and it takes real work to break this. Versus having local desktop apps which require work to distribute. A potent example of the power of defaults.

Sentry produces nothing of value? You don't value an open source error tracking and performance monitoring platform? https://github.com/getsentry/sentry

> You invent something, and then immediately turn it into a cheap commodity by releasing it for free.

Exactly. A 71-line python script https://github.com/getsentry/sentry/commit/3c2e87573d3bd16f6... was groundbreaking when it came out and the fact that it springboarded into a startup is commendable.
