APIDrift

Monitor Sentry releases for SDK changes and platform updates

Track Sentry SDK changes before your error monitoring goes blind

APIDrift tracks Sentry releases from the getsentry/sentry GitHub repository daily, catching SDK breaking changes, error grouping algorithm updates, and performance monitoring API modifications. Sentry SDK upgrades can change how breadcrumbs attach, alter custom context handling, and switch from transaction-based to continuous profiling. When error monitoring breaks, bugs go undetected in production, making proactive tracking of Sentry platform changes essential.

Sentry SDK breaking changes can leave your error monitoring blind

Sentry's SDK updates can change breadcrumb formats, alter performance monitoring APIs, and modify error grouping behavior. A major SDK upgrade that breaks your integration means errors go undetected — which is worse than not having error monitoring at all.

“We upgraded the Sentry SDK and the new version changed how custom contexts are attached. Our error reports lost all the user context metadata we relied on for debugging. It took us a week to realize our error reports were incomplete.”

Example: What an alert looks like

Breaking

v25.1.0: Legacy error grouping strategy removed — all projects use v2 grouping

Projects still using the legacy (v1) error grouping strategy will be automatically migrated to v2. This may change how errors are grouped and could affect your alert rules.

New Feature

v25.0.0: Continuous profiling replaces transaction-based profiling

Transaction-based profiling is deprecated. Continuous profiling provides always-on performance data without requiring transaction-level opt-in.
