Sentry Load Scale

Prerequisites

• High-traffic application metrics available
• Sentry quota and billing understood
• Performance baseline established
• Event volume estimates calculated

Instructions

1. Implement adaptive sampling based on error frequency per type
2. Configure tiered transaction sampling with endpoint-specific rates
3. Set up client-side buffering with increased buffer size
4. Reduce SDK overhead with minimal integrations and breadcrumbs
5. Use async event processing to avoid blocking requests
6. Configure background flushing on graceful shutdown
7. Set up multi-region DSN routing if applicable
8. Implement quota budget allocation across environments
9. Add dynamic rate adjustment based on quota usage
10. Monitor SDK event throughput and adjust configuration

Output

• Optimized sampling configuration
• Quota management strategy
• Cost-efficient event capture
• Scalable Sentry integration
