Sentry Reference Architecture

Prerequisites

• Sentry organization created
• Team structure defined
• Service inventory documented
• Alert escalation paths established

Instructions

1. Define project structure based on application architecture
2. Create centralized SDK configuration module with standard settings
3. Implement global error handler middleware with Sentry integration
4. Create domain-specific error classes with appropriate tags
5. Configure distributed tracing with header propagation between services
6. Set up alert hierarchy (critical, warning, info) with routing rules
7. Configure issue routing based on team ownership and tags
8. Enable release tracking for every deployment
9. Document architecture patterns and configuration standards
10. Review and adjust based on error patterns after initial deployment

Output

• Project structure following best practices
• Centralized SDK configuration module
• Distributed tracing configured across services
• Alert routing rules defined
