Sentry
Best for
Error tracking, stack traces, release regressions, and exception alerts.
Tradeoff
Strong default for app errors, but not a complete product analytics layer.
Stack category
Choose observability by what failure would cost you most: lost users, broken flows, silent model errors, or surprise spend.
Use lightweight tools when you mainly need “is it down?” signals. Move to richer logging and AI-specific monitoring when prompt failures, queue delays, or rising inference cost start to matter.

Error tracking, stack traces, release regressions, and exception alerts.
Strong default for app errors, but not a complete product analytics layer.
Logs, uptime, incident visibility, and operational debugging.
Great for operations, but more information than tiny MVPs often need.
Simple uptime checks, edge visibility, and low-cost baseline monitoring.
Useful baseline, but not enough when product and AI-specific failures matter.
Practical fit
Best when you want low-ops visibility across edge, cron, and lightweight AI flows.
Best when you need to see cost spikes, webhook failures, and billing-related regressions.
