Sheet 02 · updated Sep 18, 2026

Everything between the request and the fix.

The home page shows one trace. This is the rest of it: the search that finds the event, the alert that wakes the right person, and the release that closes the issue.

See what it costs

Alerts

Page a person, not a channel

A rule watches a rate, a regression or a performance budget — never the mere existence of an error — and routes to whoever owns the file it happened in.

Ownership, not rotation
CODEOWNERS and the suspect commit decide who is paged. The schedule is the fallback.
Escalation with a timer on it
Ten minutes without an acknowledgement moves it on, so nobody assumes somebody else is looking.
Everything else waits
One morning digest, on your time zone, holding the issues that did not earn a page.

Alert rule

checkout — regressions only

When
more than 50 events in 5 minutes or an issue marked resolved comes back or p95 on the route is over budget for 15 minutes
Then
page whoever owns the file, in #oncall
If nobody acknowledges
10 min → the second on-call 20 min → the engineering lead

Everything else waits for the morning digest, 9:00 AM PT.

Releases

Every deploy leaves a mark

Send us a release and a commit sha and the graphs grow deploy markers. A new issue then knows which release introduced it, and which commits touched the line that threw.

Suspects, named
The commits that last touched the failing frame, with their authors, on the issue itself.
Resolve in a version
Mark an issue fixed in the next release; Artisan closes it when that release ships and reopens it if it returns.
Regressions are their own alert
Something you already decided mattered coming back is the highest-signal page there is.

The rest of it, in one list

The small things that decide whether a tool gets used on a bad afternoon. None of them is a headline; all of them are in every plan.

Breadcrumbs
The clicks, requests and log lines from the thirty seconds before the throw, in order, on the issue.
Scrubbing in the SDK
Card numbers, auth headers and any field you name are removed before the event leaves your server.
Source maps
Upload them with the release and a minified frame reads like the file you wrote.
Spend caps
Set a ceiling per project. Artisan stops accepting events instead of sending you a surprise.
Issue comments
Discuss a null on the frame where it happened, not in a thread nobody finds in March.
Merge and split
Two buttons for the times grouping got it wrong, both reversible, both in the audit log.
Morning digest
One message on your time zone with everything that did not earn a page overnight.
Data export
Every event you have sent, as newline-delimited JSON, from the API or a scheduled drop to your bucket.
Self-serve deletion
Delete a user’s events by id, across every project, and get a receipt you can forward.
Status on your page
A JSON endpoint of our ingest health, so your own status page can say something true about us.

Getting started

One package, one DSN, no agent to run

Artisan is a library, not a sidecar. There is nothing to deploy beside your app, nothing to keep patched, and nothing that holds a request open waiting for us.

  • Events send on a background thread; a timeout on our side never becomes one on yours.
  • Fifty-eight SDKs, all written and maintained here, all on the same release train.
  • Uninstall is deleting the package — your app keeps serving exactly as it did.
