Next.js error tracking instrumentation involves capturing exceptions in both server and client code, including API routes and rendering tasks. You use the Sentry Next.js SDK to capture exceptions, attach user context, and trace performance across app flows.

Capturing user context and breadcrumbs in Next.js involves attaching actionable user data and tracing context across application flows. This is achieved using the Sentry SDK to bind user information and log breadcrumbs for debugging.

Adding performance spans and structured logging in Next.js requires starting spans to trace performance and surfacing important events in the Logs tab. The Sentry SDK provides the functions needed to create these spans and structured logs.

Sentry error tracking works with Next.js background tasks and client-side code by applying instrumentation across both environments. It satisfies requirements for exception capture, user context binding, and breadcrumb tracing throughout the application.

You need to install the Sentry Next.js SDK to begin instrumenting your app for exception capture and performance tracing. This SDK provides the necessary APIs to capture errors, set user context, and start spans for performance monitoring.
