What is Sentry?

Sentry is pushing past collection into interpretation, with Seer and AI-generated dashboards.

Two AI surfaces now anchor the changelog: the Seer agent in open beta and an AI dashboard-generation beta. Underneath, the platform keeps broadening ingestion and alerting — metrics reach .NET and Unity, logs reach Kotlin Multiplatform, uptime monitors gain alert configuration, metrics beta gains alerting, and Alerts is splitting into Monitors and Alerts. Size Analysis and org-level Data Forwarding reached GA.

What is WorkOS?

WorkOS is building identity for agents while quietly fixing the sign-up funnel.

WorkOS ships several small entries a week, and August splits cleanly in two. One half is authentication housekeeping for human users: an Android SDK, deliverability checks that reject undeliverable addresses at sign-up, invitation acceptance counting as email verification, and a reversible SCIM proxy for migrating directory connections without downtime. The other half is agent infrastructure — Agent Registration via the auth.md protocol, and the Pipes Token Proxy that calls third-party APIs on a user's behalf without the application ever touching their token.

Sentry is pushing past collection into interpretation, with Seer and AI-generated dashboards.

◆ Current state

Two AI surfaces now anchor the changelog: the Seer agent in open beta and an AI dashboard-generation beta. Underneath, the platform keeps broadening ingestion and alerting — metrics reach .NET and Unity, logs reach Kotlin Multiplatform, uptime monitors gain alert configuration, metrics beta gains alerting, and Alerts is splitting into Monitors and Alerts. Size Analysis and org-level Data Forwarding reached GA.

◆ Where it's heading

The consistent direction is reducing the setup and expertise required before a signal becomes visible. Generating dashboards and answering questions about the app are both attacks on the same cost: the engineer who has to know what to build before they can see anything. Meanwhile SDK and alerting coverage keeps filling in as table stakes.

◆ Prediction

Look for the AI surfaces to converge — Seer and generated dashboards becoming one investigation path rather than two features — and for the Monitors/Alerts split to settle into clearer routing.

WorkOS is building identity for agents while quietly fixing the sign-up funnel.

◆ Current state

WorkOS ships several small entries a week, and August splits cleanly in two. One half is authentication housekeeping for human users: an Android SDK, deliverability checks that reject undeliverable addresses at sign-up, invitation acceptance counting as email verification, and a reversible SCIM proxy for migrating directory connections without downtime. The other half is agent infrastructure — Agent Registration via the auth.md protocol, and the Pipes Token Proxy that calls third-party APIs on a user's behalf without the application ever touching their token.

◆ Where it's heading

The agent work is the strategic line. Registration gives an agent an identity of its own instead of a borrowed human session; the token proxy means an application acting for a user never holds the credential. Together they describe a stack where an agent can be authorized, audited and revoked as a first-class principal. The human-auth releases are conversion and migration work — the deliverability check and SCIM Bridge both remove reasons a customer stalls — which is what a developer-infrastructure company does while its next category is still forming.

◆ Prediction

Registration and the token proxy leave scoping and revocation as the visible gaps, so expect per-agent permissions or consent surfaces next. Whether auth.md gains adoption beyond WorkOS is not something these entries can answer.
