Inside Look: How Sentry debugs with Sentry

Watch Sentry engineer Yagiz Nizipli use Sentry to fix Sentry. In this session, he demoed how he identified and optimized critical pipeline tasks, saving $160,000 per year.

Yagiz walked through the step-by-step process he followed, including:

• Identifying the costly “save_event_transaction” task with Metrics

• Using Tracing to pinpoint the root cause: an inefficient cache setting function

• The improvements he made, including caching, improving traffic distribution, and enabling background threads

Throughout the workshop, Yagiz also shared tips and best practices for using Tracing to uncover performance bottlenecks and drive continuous improvement across our own services.
