Improve the self-hosted experience

[chadwhitacre]

Self-hosted Sentry in its current form was first built in 2016, soon after we formed as a proper company. Today there are tens of thousands of installations out in the wild. On the one hand, the product has evolved a lot over the years, and is now quite complicated to run. This creates friction for smaller deployments, many of whom really only need errors. On the other hand, self-hosted is not well-integrated into our software development and operations processes, often resulting in a degraded Sentry experience for our self-hosted users. We have decided to invest in addressing these problems this year.

Here's a great thread on self-hosted install challenges.

If JS SDK Loader is on the list here, does it mean that it is being taken seriously and will not be postponed?

[chadwhitacre]

I mean, define postponed, but yeah, this overall effort is one of our team's priorities and if the ticket is on this list there's a good chance we'll get to it. :)
