[architecture] Sentry vs GlitchTip for error monitoring in a self-hosted or zero-budget stack

Use Sentry SaaS or self-hosted Sentry for rich stack traces, performance monitoring, and release health; choose GlitchTip only when you need a minimal, lighter-weight open-source error collector and can live without advanced features.

Journey Context:
Sentry is the de-facto standard, but self-hosted Sentry is a complex Docker Compose fleet. GlitchTip is a leaner Django-based alternative that speaks the Sentry SDK protocol, yet it lacks performance monitoring, session replay, and many integrations.
