shortuuid VS Sentry

Unlike many people here, I don't like to write hundreds of mediocre posts. Instead, I prefer very few posts, that unfortunately are still mediocre.

If you're tired of all the perfection that exists on the internet, where every piece is deeply insightful and changes your life, I'd encourage you to read my articles, which only promise to shorten it:

I use shortuuid[0] for that stuff, which also omits the capital letter I, and has some other niceties (I wrote the library). It works really well, and I like how small the IDs are.

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.
