Comment on Building Sentry, a service to process native crash reports and minidumps

Comments

They might want to check radare2[1] for processing crash dumps, since it supports all 3 major platforms (Windows, Linux, OS X), and allows to play with the stripped files as well.

Armin from Sentry here: the feature set overlap between sentry's symbolicator and radare2 is not that great. The goals are also very different. We only want to unwind and symbolicate but we need to do this at scale. radare on the other hand wants to disassemble and do all kinds of low level debugging and it's build for user attended interactive sessions.

Some companies use r2 for batch jobs, moreover it is available as a library. Anyway, just wanted to inform you, if you didn't knew.
