metlo VS Sentry

So far, I’ve been using Metlo's protection features to initially test out its capabilities on my app, but there’s still a whole other Testing feature that it has that I'm starting to look into. Everything I’ve tried out has been pretty quick and easy so hopefully I can play around with the Testing more to help me catch any other authentication or authorization vulnerabilities that might exist in my app. If this is something that interests you, you can check it out at https://metlo.com .

* Once you have the right templates you can build rules to apply these templates to many endpoints at once (https://docs.metlo.com/docs/test-rules). This makes it possible to write hundreds of tests against your API in just a few clicks :)

We have more info on our docs here: https://docs.metlo.com/docs/writing-a-test. And here's a demo video if you’d like a quick walk-through :) https://www.loom.com/share/f342f186e756489aa7a500be875a5539

We’d love to hear your thoughts!

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.
