Tracing gives you a connected view of your application from the frontend to the backend and between systems by looking at interactions among various components of your stack.

Tracing gives you a full view of what's happening in your application from the frontend to the backend and between systems, by looking at interactions between various components of your stack. This is especially useful if you rely on microservices or are trying to find the root cause of a difficult user complaint. With [distributed tracing](/concepts/key-terms/tracing/distributed-tracing/), you can quickly identify performance bottlenecks.

You can drill down into any slowdowns and optimize the performance of your code with [**distributed traces**](/product/sentry-basics/concepts/tracing/distributed-tracing/), which consist of transactions and spans and measure the performance of individual services and operations. This means you can easily [trace](/product/sentry-basics/concepts/tracing/trace-view/) slow-loading pages all the way back to poor-performing API calls.
29+
You can also get full context about what was happening when an error or performance issue occurred by looking at the [Trace View](/concepts/key-terms/tracing/trace-view/) page. This will allow you to among other things, trace slow-loading pages all the way back to poor-performing API calls. Lastly, you can use the [Trace Explorer](/product/explore/traces/) page to search span data, including conditions relating to the structure of the trace itself.

Sentry [**Profiling**](/product/profiling/) provides code-level insights into your application performance in production so you can find and fix the problematic line of code faster. It profiles code in every environment your application is running on so you can quickly see which functions are contributing to a slow span.

Giving Sentry visibility into your [**releases**](/product/releases/) makes it possible to see the moment a release starts to degrade and quickly take action. You get real-time visibility across your releases, allowing you to see core metrics like crash-free sessions, version adoption, and failure rate.

Releases are integrated with the rest of Sentry so you can directly see how an error or performance issue was affected by a release, in addition to being able to resolve release-specific issues.
