Welcome to Changelog and Friends, a weekly talk show about trailer spoilers. Thanks, as always, to our partners at Fly. Over 3 million apps have launched on Fly, the public cloud built for developers who ship. That's us, and that's you. Learn more at fly.io. Okay, let's talk.
Well, before the show, I'm here with Jasmine Cassis from Sentry. Jasmine, I know that session replay is one of those features that just once you use it, it becomes the way. How widely adopted is session replay for Sentry?
I can't share specific numbers, but it is highly adopted in terms of if you look at the whole feature set of Sentry, Replay is highly adopted. I think what's really important to us is Sentry supports over 100 languages and frameworks. It also means mobile. So I think it's important for us to cater to all sorts of developers.
We can do that by opening up Replay from not just web, but going to mobile. I think that's the most important needle to move.
So I know one of the things that developers waste so much time on is reproducing some sort of user interface error or some sort of user flow error. And now there is session replay. To me, it really does seem like the killer feature for Sentry.
Absolutely. That's a sentiment shared by a lot of our customers. And we've even doubled down on that workflow because today, if you just get a link to an issue alert in Sentry, an issue alert, for example, in Slack or whatever integration that you use, as soon as you open that issue alert, we've embedded the replay video at the time of the error.
So then it just becomes part of the troubleshooting process. It's no longer an add-on. It's just one of the steps that you do, just like you would review a stack trace. our users would just also review the replay video. It's embedded right there on the issues page.
Okay, Sentry is always shipping, always helping developers ship with confidence. That's what they do. Check out their launch week details in the link in the show notes. And of course, check out Session Replay's new edition mobile replay in the link in the show notes as well. And here's the best part. If you want to try Sentry, you can do so today with $100 off the team plan.
Totally free for you to try out for you and your team. Use the code CHANGELOG. Go to sentry.io. Again, sentry.io.
