Sentry is an open-source platform that helps developers monitor and fix crashes in real-time. It provides a comprehensive set of tools for error tracking, crash reporting, and performance monitoring, allowing you to identify and resolve issues before they impact your users.

FastAPI is known for its robust error-handling capabilities. However, integrating Sentry takes error handling to the next level by providing real-time error alerts, detailed error reports, and performance insights. This combination allows you to:

• Detect and diagnose issues quickly.
• Monitor the health and performance of your FastAPI application.
• Prioritize and track error resolution tasks efficiently.

By integrating Sentry with FastAPI, you gain the following benefits:

• Real-time Error Alerts: Sentry notifies you instantly when errors occur, enabling you to respond promptly.
• Detailed Error Reports: Sentry provides detailed error reports, including stack traces, request data, and environment information, making it easier to diagnose and fix issues.
• Performance Monitoring: Sentry monitors the performance of your application, helping you identify bottlenecks and slow endpoints.
• Custom Logging: You can log custom events and errors, allowing you to track specific actions or conditions in your application.
• Issue Tracking: Sentry creates issues for each error, making it easy to track and prioritize bug fixes.
• Integration Ecosystem: Sentry integrates with various services and tools, enhancing your development and debugging workflow.

To get started, you need to create a Sentry account and configure your FastAPI application to send error data to Sentry.

If you don't have a Sentry account, you can create one for free at sentry.io.

To install the Sentry SDK, run the following command:

poetry add sentry-sdk[fastapi] fastapi[all]
