BREAKING: Sentry.io US Region Outage — What You Need to Know
Status: CRITICAL | Last Updated: NOW | Monitoring Active
---
What's Down & Who's Affected
Sentry.io is currently unreachable for users in the US region. This impacts:
Scope: Primarily affects indie hackers and teams whose projects are configured with US-region endpoints. EU and APAC regions appear unaffected at this time.
---
Immediate Workarounds — Do This NOW
1. Redirect Your Error Ingestion (5 minutes)
If you're on a self-hosted Sentry instance or have access to EU infrastructure:```bash
Update your .env or config
SENTRY_DSN=https://your-key@eu-sentry.io/project-idRedeploy immediately
git push heroku main # or your deployment method ```2. Switch to Alternative Capture Temporarily
Enable verbose logging to local files while Sentry recovers:```javascript // Node.js example const fs = require('fs'); const ErrorLog = (error) => { fs.appendFileSync('./error-logs.jsonl', JSON.stringify({ timestamp: new Date().toISOString(), message: error.message, stack: error.stack }) + '\n'); }; ```
3. Queue Events Locally
Implement a local queue system to batch errors when Sentry recovers:```javascript const errorQueue = [];
Sentry.init({ beforeSend(event) { errorQueue.push(event); return null; // Don't send yet } });
// Retry every 30 seconds setInterval(async () => { if (errorQueue.length > 0) { try { await fetch('https://sentry.io/api/...', { method: 'POST', body: JSON.stringify(errorQueue) }); errorQueue.length = 0; // Clear on success } catch (e) { console.log('Sentry still down, retrying...'); } } }, 30000); ```

How to Check If YOUR Project Is Affected
Quick Test:
1. Visit https://sentry.io/auth/login/ from a US IP
2. Open browser DevTools → Network tab
3. Look for failed requests with status 503 or timeout
4. Run: curl -I https://sentry.io (will hang or timeout)
CLI Check: ```bash ping sentry.io
If timeout or unreachable = you're affected
```Check Your Logs: Review your application logs for error ingestion failures in the last 15 minutes.

You have options. Errors won't be lost—they'll be cached and retried. Stay calm, implement one workaround now, and monitor the status page. We'll update this post as Sentry recovers.
