# Sentry Known Pitfalls

## Overview

Ten production-grade Sentry SDK anti-patterns that silently break error tracking, inflate costs, or leave teams blind to failures. Each pitfall includes the broken pattern, root cause, and production-ready fix.

For extended code samples and audit scripts, see [configuration pitfalls](references/configuration-pitfalls.md), [error capture pitfalls](references/error-capture-pitfalls.md), [SDK initialization pitfalls](references/sdk-initialization-pitfalls.md), [integration pitfalls](references/integration-pitfalls.md), and [monitoring pitfalls](references/monitoring-pitfalls.md).

## Prerequisites

- Active Sentry project with `@sentry/node` >= 8.x or `@sentry/browser` >= 8.x
- Access to the codebase containing `Sentry.init()` configuration
- Environment variable management (`.env`, secrets manager, or CI/CD vars)
