Engineering Practices

Our take on software engineering. Some practices that all engineers working on Sentry should follow.

Commit Messages
We have very precise rules over how our git commit messages can be formatted. This leads to more readable messages that are easy to follow when looking through the project history.
Code Review
Code review is mandatory at Sentry. This adds overhead to each change, but ensures that simple, often overlooked problems are more easily avoided.
Documentation
A part of every development project (especially Open Source projects) is documentation that explains how it works. Sentry is not any different.
Rust Development
This is a document that contains a bunch of useful resources for getting started with Rust and adhering to our coding principles.

Help improve this content
Our documentation is open source and available on GitHub. Your contributions are welcome, whether fixing a typo (drat!) or suggesting an update ("yeah, this would be better").
