Description

We want to define a structure for documenting SDK features across all SDKs (.yaml or .json based). The base structure of what features are supported in general should live in a central place. Each of the SDKs should provide a list with the features it supports. On a release this info should be merged and persisted by our release-registry.

An example of a currently gathered SDK version information can be found here: https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-release-registry/blob/master/packages/npm/%40sentry/nextjs/6.10.0.json Maybe these files can be used for this purpose as well.

Benefits

We would then be able to check, which features were supported by a specific version of an SDK.
We could use that data in our docs and on the /for SDK marketing pages
- That way we don't have to maintain the information manually (and not in a uniformed way + not only for the latest SDK version)
We can also use and connect this data with other insights in our business intelligence tools
- That way we wouldn't have to look in event data for that information (and only a fraction of that is actually derivable from that)
- This also means that together with other data (Redash, data source: stats-scraper) we can analyze, how many users (downloads of a package) already have access to a specific feature (feature availability/rollout percentage).
