A comment on Sentry.io outage. Parent comment

Take in advance that I don't know Sentry, nor webpack et al but, in my mind, I'd like to have an opportunity to continue my build process with a big, red warning.

I prefer a 98% accurate error reporting better than a 100% one I can't push to production.

Or maybe I'm not understanding well the value Sentry offers, of course.

I kind of agree. Their source map thing to get better traces is a nicety, but few would find it release blocking to forgo it

Edit due to other comment: this assumes CI/CD. If you were deploying only weekly then this might be good reason to delay

It can be desired to continue on failure, the tradeoff is that there is then a release out there with lacking error-sourcecode mapping.

I think if your release cycle is longer, then you will prefer not to deploy without sourcemaps.
