Sentry is a cross-platform, self-hosted error monitoring solution that helps software teams discover, monitor and fix errors in real-time. The most users and logs will have to provide are the clues, and Sentry provides the answers. Sentry offers enhanced application performance monitoring through information-laden stack traces. It lets you build better software faster and more efficiently by showing you all issues in one place and providing the trail of events that lead to errors. It also provides real-time monitoring and data visualization through dashboards. Sentry’s server is in Python, but its API enables for sending events from any language, in any application. More than fifty-thousand companies already ship better software faster thanks to Sentry; let yours be one of them!

A Jupyter server extension to proxy requests with AWS SigV4 authentication. This server extension enables the usage of the AWS JavaScript/TypeScript SDK to write Jupyter frontend extensions without having to export AWS credentials to the browser. A single /awsproxy endpoint is added on the Jupyter server which receives incoming requests from the browser, uses the credentials on the server to add SigV4 authentication to the request, and then proxies the request to the actual AWS service endpoint. All requests are proxied back-and-forth as-is, e.g., a 4xx status code from the AWS service will be relayed back as-is to the browser. Using this requries no additional dependencies in the client-side code. Just use the regular AWS JavaScript/TypeScript SDK methods and add any dummy credentials and change the endpoint to the /awsproxy endpoint.
