We often think of an integration as communicating with just a single API, but it's not uncommon for some applications to pass data between several platforms. Sentry does just that, acting as a conduit between different services, so that changes in one system are reflected in another. Being able to do this efficiently—and correctly—requires a careful approach to not only your own platform's APIs, but your partners as well. Matte Noble is a Senior Software Engineer at Sentry, and he's here to talk about how they've built a robust platform that handles error cases and massive data processing with an approachable developer experience.
