NextJS Profiling on Server Side

[radekwarisch]

Problem Statement

Hey Team, I have a question regarding Profiling feature (https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/node/profiling/).
We would like to setup NextJS profiling for checking for bottlenecks, but on the server side (I see there is a guide, but it seems to cover only client side: https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/javascript/guides/nextjs/profiling).
I do not see how to set it up for server side for NextJS?

Solution Brainstorm

Guide on connecting profiling to NextJS with server side would be great.

@radekwarisch we support both nodejs and browser profiling (you actually linked to them in your description). There is no one single package to manage this so you need to follow the setup guide for each platform separately (for nodejs https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/node/profiling/) and for browser js (https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/javascript/guides/nextjs/profiling/). You will need to install @sentry/browser and @sentry/node and @sentry/profiling node to make this work.

@JonasBa thanks - in which NextJS file should I carry out NodeJS setup? Is it next.config.js or some different file?

@radekwarisch I recommend you follow https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/javascript/guides/nextjs/manual-setup/ or use our automated wizard at https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/javascript/guides/nextjs/

You will need to install @sentry/profiling-node and add it to sentry.server.config.js to enable server side profiling. For client side profiling you'll need to do similar, but add the config to sentry.client.config.js and then enable profiling - see https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/javascript/profiling/ for how to enable it.

I will need to update our docs and the setup wizard. We could automatically setup profiling using our wizard, this feels like a quick win. Let me know if you have any questions, happy to help
