Check Release Health

Name

sentry:check-releases - Check release health and compare error rates across deployments

Synopsis

/check-releases [arguments]

Description

Check the health of recent releases in Sentry to identify problematic deployments, track adoption rates, and compare error rates.

Implementation

This command helps you monitor release quality and quickly identify if a new deployment introduced regressions.

Usage

/check-releases [project-name] [release-version]

What This Command Does

1. Lists recent releases for the specified project
2. Fetches release health metrics using Sentry MCP tools
3. Analyzes release data including:
   • Crash-free session rate
   • Crash-free user rate
   • Total sessions/users
   • New error issues introduced
   • Adoption rate over time
4. Compares current release with previous releases
5. Identifies problematic releases
6. Provides recommendations for rollback or monitoring

Prerequisites

• Sentry MCP server must be installed and configured
• OAuth authentication with Sentry must be completed
• Release tracking configured in Sentry
• Access to the target Sentry project

Example Interaction

User: /check-releases frontend-app v2.4.0

Claude: Checking release health for frontend-app v2.4.0...

## Release Health Report

**Previous Release (v2.3.9):**
- Crash-Free Sessions: 99.1%
- Crash-Free Users: 99.4%
- New Issues: 1
- Total Events: 423

**Change:** 🔴 -1.9% crash-free sessions, -1.3% crash-free users

### Release Comparison

| Metric | v2.4.0 | v2.3.9 | v2.3.8 | Trend |
|--------|--------|--------|--------|-------|
| Crash-Free Sessions | 97.2% | 99.1% | 99.0% | 🔴 Down |
| Error Events | 1,247 | 423 | 456 | 🔴 Up |
| Performance (P95) | 2.1s | 1.8s | 1.9s | 🔴 Slower |

### Assessment

🔴 **Release Quality: Poor**

This release has significantly higher error rates compared to previous versions.
The TypeError affecting UserProfile is the primary contributor to degraded health.

### Recommendations

1. **Immediate**: Investigate TypeError in UserProfile component
2. **Consider**: Rollback to v2.3.9 if issue persists
3. **Monitor**: NetworkError timeout - may be infrastructure-related
4. **Track**: Performance regression (300ms slower P95)

Would you like me to:
- Investigate the UserProfile TypeError in detail?
- Compare performance metrics across releases?
- Check if any users are reporting issues?

Arguments

• project-name (optional): Sentry project slug
• release-version (optional): Specific release to check (defaults to latest)

Tips

• Monitor crash-free rates closely after deployments
• Compare new releases with previous stable versions
• Track new issues introduced per release
• Set up release health alerts
• Use release tags consistently in your deployment pipeline
• Roll back quickly if crash-free rate drops significantly
