DESCRIBE YOUR PR

Fixes what a new user hits between install and the first event, from the runtime docs audit (SDK-1426), and reorganizes the guide so the recommended Vite path leads.

This can be merged already now as this just moves things around promoting the Vite plugin to ensure people have the best experience with the SDK

  • Add the missing SDK import to the tracing verify snippets, which threw ReferenceError: Sentry is not defined when copied verbatim
  • Lead the quick start with the Vite plugin and an instrument.server.ts file, turning on the experimental autoInstrumentation and useDiagnosticsChannelInjection options
  • Add an Installation Methods section holding the Vite Plugin page, moved out of Features, and a new Wrangler page for the withSentry setup
  • Move the Cloudflare Pages setup to its own page, with a note recommending Workers with static assets
  • Move release detection and post-response spans to troubleshooting
  • Give the Hono framework page the real install and app.use(sentry()) steps instead of a bare redirect
  • List the packages the plugin instruments at build time
  • Render compatibility_date from the build date with Cloudflare's "Set this to today's date" comment, instead of pinning the SDK minimum

LEGAL BOILERPLATE

Look, I get it.

<Alert>

Cloudflare recommends [migrating to Workers with static assets](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/static-assets/migration-guides/migrate-from-pages/). Workers covers most Pages use cases with a broader feature set, and it's where new Cloudflare features land. Pages keeps working, so this page stays accurate, but start new projects on Workers and follow the <PlatformLink to="/">Cloudflare guide</PlatformLink> instead.

After migrating, you replace `sentryPagesPlugin` with the Vite plugin or `withSentry`, depending on how you build.

How you set the SDK up depends on how your Worker is built, not on which features you want. All methods give you the same errors, traces, and options.

### If You Build Your Worker With Vite


Follow the <PlatformLink to="/">quick start</PlatformLink>, which sets Sentry up this way. This is what we recommend: the <PlatformLink to="/install/vite-plugin/">Vite plugin</PlatformLink> wraps your Worker entry at build time, so you don't write the wrapper yourself, and it instruments bundled dependencies such as database clients, which is the only way to trace them in the Workers runtime. See the <PlatformLink to="/install/vite-plugin/">Vite Plugin</PlatformLink> page for its options and what it instruments.

### If You Deploy Directly With `wrangler`


Follow the <PlatformLink to="/install/wrangler/">Wrangler setup</PlatformLink> and wrap your entry with `Sentry.withSentry()` yourself. You keep errors and request traces, but you lose the build-time instrumentation of bundled dependencies, so spans from those packages won't appear.

creating `instrument.server.ts`. This page documents what it instruments, its
options, and the details that matter once it's running.

## Auto-instrumentation

Suggested change
## Auto-instrumentation
## Auto-Instrumentation


The plugin reads your wrangler config (probing `wrangler.json`, `wrangler.jsonc`, and `wrangler.toml` at the Vite root, or the file set with [`wranglerConfigPath`](#wranglerconfigpath)) to find the entry point, Durable Objects, workflows, and Agents SDK classes. It wraps Agents SDK classes (`Agent`, `AIChatAgent`, `McpAgent`) with `instrumentAgentWithSentry`, which also gives them automatic conversation IDs (see <PlatformLink to="/agent-tracing/agents-sdk/">Cloudflare Agents SDK</PlatformLink>).

An entry you wrapped with `withSentry` yourself is left untouched, so manual instrumentation keeps working next to the plugin. If you'd rather wrap the entry yourself, leave `_experimental.autoInstrumentation` off and follow the <PlatformLink to="/install/wrangler/">Wrangler setup</PlatformLink>.
