Case Study: HackEDU achieves faster bug detection and scalable enterprise support with Sentry

Securing Applications & Educating Developers with HackEDU

HackEDU, a lab-based secure coding training platform, needed a way to scale support and automatically find bugs as it grew to serve enterprise customers. Its lean team lacked the resources to manually track down issues, and because end users rarely reported bugs, it turned to Sentry’s application monitoring platform to help catch errors and keep code quality high.

With Sentry, HackEDU received automated alerts, Slack notifications, and faster triage through integrations with tools like Jira and Bitbucket. This let the team quickly reproduce and fix issues, including a feature-flagged airline customer bug that broke reporting; Sentry helped prevent a potential impact to thousands of users and protect the customer relationship. HackEDU has since continued to grow and support large companies like Costco and Cisco.
