Elegant Frontend Error Tracking with Sentry

Kakao Pay introduces how it uses Sentry to detect and respond to hard-to-predict frontend runtime errors.

Details

Beyond data or UI-related issues, frontend errors include hard-to-predict runtime errors caused by browser policy changes, specific OS/device bugs, and more. Errors caused by these external factors are difficult to reproduce in a QA environment, and since users' device environments vary widely, identifying the root cause takes a lot of time.

To address this, Kakao Pay adopted and uses Sentry, a real-time log aggregation and analysis tool. Sentry provides the following key features:

  • Detailed event logs: Provides Exception, Device, Browser, OS information, and the sequence of events leading up to the error (Breadcrumbs)
  • Issue Grouping: Groups similar errors into a single issue to improve management efficiency
  • Support for various platforms and notifications: Supports a wide range of development environments and can integrate with Slack, Jira, and more

In a React environment, it can be set up by installing the @sentry/react and @sentry/tracing packages. DSN, release, environment, and other settings are configured via Sentry.init, and the Error Boundary component can be used to automatically detect and send JavaScript errors.
