Hi David, I trialled the hosted version a month or two ago and it was slow. Specifically: The time it took for an exception to be reported via the API to that exception showing up in the web interface was too long (a minute maybe). It made trialling the product a little bit tedious. I ended up with rollbar for that reason. Would it be faster if I self-hosted Sentry?
It should never be slow, so it's possible there was a misunderstanding in how something was working, a bug in an SDK, or we were simply having a really bad day.
Comparatively, Rollbar publishes some similar numbers, and suggest they are slower: http://status.rollbar.com/
While being as real-time as possible is nice, we internally have an SLA of 10s for end-to-end as we feel thats appropriate enough for a success metric. I will also say we did a lot of work around this recently to improve our 99th percentile. Part of that is our recent improvements around source map processing times:
