Epok vs Sentry
Sentry is application error and performance monitoring — deep, developer-first visibility into exceptions, releases, and slow transactions in your app code. Epok is a multi-signal detection engine that watches logs, metrics, traces, infrastructure, RUM, and session replay together and drafts the cited root cause. They overlap on errors but solve different halves of the problem — many teams run both.
Where Sentry wins
Sentry is the best tool in the world for application errors. Stack-trace grouping, source maps, breadcrumbs, release health, and the developer workflow around fixing a specific exception are all first-class and hard to beat. If your primary need is deep, in-app error and performance visibility wired to your commits, keep Sentry. Epok covers the rest of the stack — infrastructure, silent services, cross-signal cascades — and drafts the cause across all of it.
- —You need detection across infrastructure, metrics, and logs — not just SDK-instrumented app errors.
- —You want to catch services going silent, host/container failures, and cascades Sentry doesn't watch.
- —You want cited root cause that spans logs, traces, and metrics together.
- —You'd rather point a log shipper at one endpoint than embed an SDK in every runtime.
- —Your priority is deep application error monitoring with stack-trace grouping and source maps.
- —Release health and crash-free-rate analytics are central to your workflow.
- —You want errors wired tightly to commits, breadcrumbs, and the developer's fix loop.
- —Front-end/mobile exception capture is your main use case.
Point your existing shipper at a new endpoint.
Epok isn't a drop-in replacement for Sentry's in-app error UX — it's the detection and root-cause layer over your whole stack. Most teams add Epok alongside Sentry rather than replacing it.
Ship logs, metrics, and traces to Epok via OTLP, Loki push, Elasticsearch bulk, syslog, FluentBit, Vector, or Prometheus remote_write — no SDK changes to your existing Sentry setup.
Run both: keep Sentry on app exceptions and let Epok watch infrastructure, silent services, and cross-signal incidents.
Run them side by side. No card.
