Sentry
Error tracking + tracing
Free tier + paidMonitoring & error trackingsentry.io
What it is
The default error-monitoring tool for web and mobile, capturing exceptions with full stack traces, source maps, release tagging and breadcrumbs, plus tracing, logs and session replay. It is licensed under the Functional Source License, which converts to Apache 2.0 after two years, and is self-hostable via Docker Compose.
Why it earns a slot
One wizard command wires it into a Next.js app and you stop learning about production breakage from angry users; the source-mapped stack trace usually points straight at the offending line.
Know before you commit
5K errors/month sounds generous until one crash loop burns it in an hour, so turn on spike protection and inbound filters early. Self-hosting needs 4 CPUs and 16GB RAM plus 16GB swap, and loses spike protection and the Seer AI features.

Neighbourhood
How Sentry sits against the rest of the atlas — swaps, companions and the tools builders actually save alongside it.
