Consider integrating Sentry (and other monitoring tools) into Colouring Britain #300

We've been using Sentry for some of our apps in the Newcastle RSE team. This is an error-tracking app that can send emails (or Slack messages) when something goes wrong on the app. It 'can' be integrated into some web apps with a single line of code.

Could we look into integrating something like this to help us keep track of any errors that occur in the Colouring Britain app?

If it works, we could, at a minimum, include instructions in the documentation for how to integrate it into other Colouring Cities deployments.

We could also consider using StatusCake, which - on the free tier - checks every 15 minutes whether a site is up, and sends notifications when it goes down.

Might not be able to respond if it goes down out of hours though...
