The challenge

Supabase, an open-source backend-as-a-service platform, ran fragmented monitoring across its frontend and backend teams. Noisy error signals, silently dropped data, and disconnected logs, metrics, and traces forced manual correlation to debug issues.

The solution

Supabase consolidated on Sentry for errors, logs, metrics, traces, and alerting in one place, filtering noise in beforeSend and using Seer to help find root causes. Teams caught regressions from merged PRs before customers reported them.

A teammate merged a PR, noticed Sentry issues, and fixed with a follow-up PR. Never got alerted by a customer about this. This is the gold standard.
