sentry-python VS structlog

sentry-python About: The official Python SDK for Sentry.io, designed for application monitoring and error tracking. Pull Request

So cool to see the CTO of Sentry here! This makes some sense to me - I'm actually following an issue with Sentry I had recently and although it's not being fixed anytime soon at least I know the status.

https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-python/issues/370

I'd love to believe that one day someone will crack the nut of "Sentry puts a bounty on this issue and YPCrumble decides to make a PR because it's something he's experiencing AND he'd get some experience working on the Sentry codebase which would be a learning opportunity.

It’s a monitoring service SDK. https://sentry.io/for/python/

You can see how Sentry does it, https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-python/blob/master/sentry_sdk/integrations/asgi.py

Structlog takes a different approach. Rather than wrestling with object hierarchies, you simply declare how each event should be processed and enriched. The result is logging that feels natural to write, while producing output that works just as well for humans skimming a console as it does for machines ingesting JSON into an observability platform.

Structlog is excellent for structured logging with context:

Structlog: A python library to structure your log entries

structlog

For any of you in need of logging capabilities, I started structlog a few days ago. For those who know structlog from python, you should feel right at home as I tried to follow the same principles.
