Improving PHP Sentry Performance with Asynchronous Logging

[sjsage522]

I recently explored ways to improve PHP Sentry logging performance by implementing asynchronous request handling. Since PHP is inherently single-threaded and sentry-php sends logs synchronously by default, each alert introduces additional latency.

To mitigate this, I leveraged GuzzleHttp\Client with sendAsync to handle Sentry requests in a non-blocking manner using Promises and curl_multi. This approach batches log transmissions and defers execution until wait() is triggered, reducing API call overhead and improving efficiency.

While Sentry offers Relay as an alternative, it requires setting up a proxy server, adding an extra management point. I wanted a more fundamental solution that works within the application itself, which led me to implement asynchronous logging using Guzzle.

I wrote a detailed article explaining the implementation, including a custom HttpClientInterface for Sentry:

This method is particularly beneficial for applications with high-frequency logging needs, helping to minimize request-response delays. I'd love to hear your thoughts—has anyone else implemented a similar solution, or do you have alternative approaches for optimizing Sentry in PHP?

Looking forward to your feedback! 🚀
