Setup guide

1. Sentry: Create a Sentry project for the production application, install the matching SDK, and initialize it with the project DSN. Tag events with the environment and release, deploy a controlled test error, and confirm that its stack trace reaches Sentry. (Open Sentry instructions)
2. BetterUptime: Add the production URL as an HTTP monitor in Better Stack Uptime, choose the expected status code, and configure who should be contacted when a check fails. Create a simple status page if customers need a public incident reference, then run a test alert. (Open BetterUptime instructions)
3. Slack: Create a dedicated Slack channel for production alerts. Route Sentry errors and Better Stack incidents into that channel, include enough context to identify the affected service, and send test notifications from both tools so the team knows the full alert path works.
