Monitoring and Error Tracking
Once people use your app, you need to know when it breaks — ideally before they tell you. The lightweight starter kit:
- Error tracking: Sentry catches and groups exceptions with stack traces, and tells you which user and which line triggered each one. A few lines to install.
- Uptime monitoring: a free pinger (UptimeRobot, Better Stack) hits your site every few minutes and emails you when it goes down.
- Logs: know where your host keeps them (
wrangler tail, the Vercel dashboard, etc.) so you can investigate when something looks wrong.
Have the AI add Sentry and wire a basic health-check — a tiny route like /health that returns 200 OK and confirms the is reachable, which your uptime monitor can ping. The goal is not enterprise observability — it is simply not finding out about an outage from an angry tweet.
