Sentry offers developer-first application monitoring that combines error tracking and performance monitoring to help engineering teams diagnose and resolve issues across frontend, backend, mobile, desktop and IoT. The platform supports 100+ languages and processes more than 790 billion events per month, with mobile events growing over 100% year over year. Sentry reports net expansion of annual recurring revenue (ARR) up 130%+ year over year and says revenue has more than tripled in just over two years. The product is used by more than 3.5 million developers and 85,000 organizations, including customers like Disney, Peloton, Cloudflare and Slack. With the new capital the company plans to invest in product development, hiring, accelerating go-to-market, and global expansion, including opening a new hub in Europe. Sentry emphasizes a product-led growth model while scaling its global teams (headcount grew nearly 75% year over year). Sentry provides application monitoring software that detects potential issues and helps developers catch bugs before they cause outages, downtime and frustrated users. Its platform is used by 68,000 organizations and clients include Disney, Cloudflare, Peloton, Slack, Eventbrite, Supercell and Rockstar Games. In July, Sentry launched frontend performance monitoring software for Python and JavaScript and says developers have validated a need for deeper code observability. Planned product work includes adding support for more languages and frameworks, more data and analytics features, and additional capabilities for its free self-hosted version. The company is hiring for offices in San Francisco, Toronto and Vienna and is seeing growth in gaming and streaming media as well as new demand from finance, commerce and healthcare. Financially, Sentry has raised a total of $127 million, including the recent Series D that values the business at $1 billion. Sentry builds error-tracking and performance-monitoring software that helps developers detect issues, receive alerts, and get contextual information for root-cause analysis. Its product is available as open-source software and as a hosted SaaS offering. The company says it differentiates from legacy APM by focusing on code that runs on devices developers don’t control, including mobile and IoT devices. Sentry announced Sentry for Native to extend support for mobile, gaming and IoT developers. The company reported growth from serving about 2,000 organizations at the end of 2015 to roughly 50,000 organizations today, and counts customers such as Airbnb, Dropbox, Microsoft, PayPal, Peloton, Pinterest, Square, Symantec and Uber. Sentry has previously raised capital and had a $16M Series B in May 2018 that brought its valuation to $100M; the company did not disclose a new valuation with its latest round. Sentry provides an open-source error-monitoring and exception-logging platform that lets developers integrate error remediation into their workflows. The company recently launched Sentry 9, which automatically notifies the developers responsible for affected code, allows filtering by environment, and supports collaboration across teams to speed fixes from "five hours to five minutes," the company says. Sentry originated as an internal exception-logging tool for Django at Disqus and was open-sourced before the company launched a hosted service in 2012. It reports 9,000 paying customers (including Airbnb, Dropbox, PayPal, Twitter and Uber), is used by 500,000 engineers, and processes more than 360 billion errors a year. The company plans to double down on developers and adjacent roles—particularly product teams—and is building tools for deeper app-performance insights and non-error issues. Sentry began as an internal exception-logging tool at Disqus and was open sourced, growing contributions and multi-language support. The company offers a hosted SaaS product used by over 5,000 customers (about one-third of its total user base) and remains cash-flow positive. Its platform now supports many server-side languages and browser JavaScript, with JavaScript having more than tripled in usage over the past year. Sentry is expanding product functionality beyond basic crash reporting with features like Breadcrumbs and a forthcoming User Feedback integration tied to Zendesk. The team has grown from three to fourteen after an earlier $1.5 million seed from Accel, and hires include former employees from Dropbox, GitHub and Disqus. Upcoming technical plans include best-in-class iOS support and support for the Unity platform.
