Debugging a Slack Integration with Sentry’s Trace View

What's this blog post about?

The text discusses the process of debugging an intermittent issue with Sentry's Slack integration using Sentry's Trace View. The problem was that sometimes when a user clicked on "Resolve" or "Archive," the associated modal would not render, making these action buttons appear to have no effect. By investigating the Trace View and analyzing the code, it was discovered that the issue was due to the integration sending requests to Slack too slowly. The solution involved creating a loading modal initially before sending off the Celery task to respond with the more detailed modal. This demonstrates the importance of debuggability in software development and how tools like Sentry can help developers quickly identify and resolve issues.
