- #nuxt
- #unjs
- #nitro
- #composition-api
Sentry is a great tool to track errors and performance issues in your application - but the Nuxt module is not Nuxt 3 compatible yet.

- #nuxt
- #ssr
Server Side Rendering does have some limitations, such as the inability to access platform-based APIs like local storage on the server side.
