Half a year ago, I started building a side project. Nothing super special, a simple Flask API with a database and a frontend.

Early on, I wanted to set up error monitoring, so I signed up for Sentry.

The free tier was pretty generous. 5000 events a month. But my project became bigger than expected, so I used it all up in 3 days.

The next pricing tier was $26 a month. For fifty thousand events.

Fifty thousand events for a side project where I'm not making money yet.
