Hazal Karakus contributed to the sentry-demos/empower repository by delivering three features over three months, focusing on platform modernization and observability. She upgraded the backend to Spring Boot 3.5.3 and Java 21, refactoring deprecated imports and dependencies while adding custom span instrumentation for enhanced Sentry-based error tracking. Hazal also integrated Codecov-enabled bundle analysis into the CI pipeline using JavaScript and Webpack, enabling automated insights into bundle size and optimization opportunities. Additionally, she expanded Sentry session replay network detail capture to all URLs through regex-based configuration, improving debugging data collection. Her work demonstrated depth in backend development, CI/CD, and SDK configuration.
December 2025 delivered a major platform refresh for the empower repo, upgrading the runtime stack to Spring Boot 3.5.3 and Java 21 with enhanced observability. The work included migration to Jakarta namespaces, refactoring deprecated imports, and updating core dependencies to align with modern tooling. Implemented custom span instrumentation for improved tracing and Sentry-based error tracking, elevating error visibility and faster remediation. All endpoints function correctly on the upgraded stack, with no startup warnings and improved deployment readiness.

April 2025 monthly summary for sentry-demos/empower: Delivered the Sentry Session Replay Network Detail Capture Expansion. Expanded network detail capture in session replays to include all URLs by configuring networkDetailAllowUrls to [/.*/], enabling broader debugging data collection beyond previous path-specific limits (e.g., /checkout, /products). Implemented via a code update in index.js (#799) and committed as eed880e665afc02b8b4b5139567f6b111017eb76. No major bugs documented for this repo this month. Impact includes richer session data for faster issue reproduction and reduced MTTR. Technologies/skills demonstrated include JavaScript/Node.js, regex-based configuration, and a clean commit-driven workflow.
