I wake up to discover that my site https://remotehunt.com https://remotehunt.com is super slow. First thing I do is visit HN to see what's up and I instantly see that Sentry is down.
I'm using Sentry to monitor logs and it now makes sense. Ok, so I remove Sentry from Laravel's error handler but nothing changes. And it's weird because sometimes it works, sometimes not. I tweak some things on Cloudflare (turning on Under Attack mode etc).
I still have this feeling that maybe it's related to Sentry: I'm using it and HN says it's down. So I go and remove the composer package as well, just in case. And it worked.
It took like an hour... I didn't use Sentry anyways :)
What did I learn: do not depend on external services if you really don't need it.
- philip1209 4y agoSentry's outage documentation implies that some underlying platform is the cause. Perhaps there's a major data center having issues?
- raunometsa 4y agoMaybe yes. It was very weird: even without sending any error messages to Sentry, it was still slow just by having the composer package installed. Some Sentry DNS thing?

- hadrien01 4y agoShouldn't Sentry be called asynchronously?
- darknavi 4y agoCan still bog down job queues and cause odd hiccups.
- mekster 4y agoYou post not knowing what happened just to say you don't use sentry in the end?
- raunometsa 4y agoI did use Sentry and my problem was solved when I removed it.
