Web3 and blockchain technologies are reshaping how we build and interact with web applications. While much of the attention goes to backend protocols and decentralized finance (DeFi), front-end developers are increasingly being brought into the spotlight to bridge traditional UX expectations with decentralized logic. What is Web3? Web3 refers to the next evolution of the internet—decentralized, user-controlled, and built on blockchain. Unlike Web2, where centralized servers own your data, Web3 allows users to own, control, and monetize their data using decentralized applications (dApps). Blockchain: The Foundation Blockchains are distributed ledgers that power cryptocurrencies like Ethereum and Bitcoin. However, for front-end developers, their primary relevance lies in interacting with: Smart Contracts (on Ethereum, Polygon, etc.) Wallets (like MetaMask, WalletConnect) dApps (decentralized applications) How Blockchain Impacts Front-End Development New UI/UX Challenges Smart Contrac...

  As modern web applications grow in complexity, error monitoring and performance tracking in front-end development become critical. Catching bugs early and having real-time visibility into the client-side experience can make or break user satisfaction. Two major players dominate this space: Sentry and Datadog . Both provide robust monitoring capabilities, but they cater to slightly different needs. Let’s break it down. Why Front-End Error Monitoring Matters Immediate Feedback: Real-time error tracking reduces downtime and speeds up response. Improved UX: Proactively fixing bugs improves customer experience. Debugging at Scale: Helps isolate issues by browser, device, user sessions, or environments. Sentry vs. Datadog – A Comparative Breakdown Minimize image Edit image Delete image When to Use What? Use Sentry if : You want clean stack traces, detailed error context, and lightweight integration into your front-end app (React, Vue, Next.js, etc.). Use Datadog if : You're monit...
