Research integrating Sentry.io with Zoning API

[TylerMatteo]

This research spike will cover looking into how we can incorporate Sentry.io into our Zoning API application for the purposes of error monitoring with our new back end tech stack. In particular, we would like to set up an integration in the Zoning API code that will capture any 5xx network responses in Sentry.

Outcomes:

• A Discussion on this repo documenting pros and cons of approaches taken and any information the engineer finds useful to share
• A branch that sets up Sentry error monitoring for 5xx status code API responses. The branch can also show how we might capture other types of exceptions, such as those that come from failed database queries or business logic.
• Share findings and work in demo at the end of the sprint. Ideally, this would include running the API locally, triggering an error, and then showing how that error shows up in Sentry.

Where to start

• Sentry's docs site
• Sentry has an official developer SDK for Node that may be useful. While they don't have an official one for Nest, their list of "Community Supported" SDKs links to two different open source third party SDKs that we can try using

@horatiorosa Given the proposed outcomes, do you think you can get to a conclusion this by the end of the sprint? I'd like to pin it to one sprint if we can.
