Spike: Find solution for reporting errors in production

[n3rdc4ptn]

Understand the Task

We should have a way to report errors and crashes back to us when running the UI. This is different to analytics, as analytics would be more about usage reporting.

Description
We need to have a proper way to get alerted for errors in our landscapes.
Possible tools are:

• Sentry
• OpenTelemetry (can be used with several tools, but is more for telemetry)
• https://www.highlight.io/

Any further valuable resources.

• Analytics task: Epic: Integrate User Metrics and Interaction Tracking #66

Solution

• Sentry, as it is a widely accepted solution
• Very popular, excellent for JavaScript. Handles source maps, grouping, alerting, and integrations.
• has a managed solution
• already used by the OpenMFP team
• can be easily made configurable through env variable to allow platform owners to use their sentry account
• can be connected with git repository to allow crash logs be connected with code.

Time Box: 2 d

Acceptance Criteria

• Plug into our app
• Roll out to all envs
• UI: Sentry as Part of DoD / integrated into #211

Duplicate? #66

Duplicate? #66

Not really, #66 is about analytics. This is more about crashlogs and error reporting for us. Which can be similar, but is normally different.
