Case Study: Sentry achieves automated bug fixing with Anthropic’s Claude Managed Agents

Sentry helps developers accelerate debugging and ship fixes faster with Claude

Sentry, a software monitoring platform, faced a challenge in closing the loop between identifying bugs in its system and actually fixing them. While their Seer tool, powered by Anthropic's Claude, could accurately diagnose issues and suggest code fixes, developers still had to context-switch and manually implement the changes, creating a significant time and momentum drain. They needed a way to automate the entire process from detection to a merge-ready pull request without the burden of building and maintaining their own custom agent infrastructure.

To solve this, Sentry implemented Anthropic's Claude Managed Agents. This product provided the secure, fully managed agent runtime and sandboxing Sentry needed, allowing them to focus on their core product. The solution enabled a seamless workflow where Seer's root cause analysis is handed off to a Claude agent, which then writes the code fix and opens a PR. By leveraging Anthropic's managed service, a single engineer shipped the initial integration in weeks instead of months. This eliminated ongoing operational overhead and allows Sentry to efficiently process over a million root cause analyses a year.
