Description

Hi. Recently I looked into my pet project bundle size and was shocked with the size of @sentry/browser and its dependencies:

It looks like there’s already been some discussion around the package size (https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-javascript/issues/1552) and the problem is considered to be fixed but this is just crazy - @sentry/browser is consuming more space than React! I understand there’s a lot in it, some integrations, grouping logic etc but is there a tiny Sentry client I can use which doesn’t cost a world?

Hey, so this is one of the most important items on our roadmap to v6 see: https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-javascript/issues/2817

It will not happen before v6 and there are a few reasons for that. In order to make it smaller, we need to do a lot of internal refactorings, which strictly speaking, are breaking changes.

Even though from a usage perspective there shouldn’t be any breaking changes (syntax, SDK API will stay the same), if someone for example wrote their own integration or used the SDK in a more advanced way there might be some breaking changes.

We will make the SDK more tree-shakable and remove a lot of internal glue code that doesn’t contribute towards adding a lot of functionality.

Bear with us, we hear you and I wanted to let you know this is a high priority issue for us.
