About ShipTale

ShipTale connects a production release from Vercel or GitHub to what happened afterward: Sentry errors and regressions, plus PostHog product measurements and Stripe customer events, all arranged as a single time-ordered sequence it calls a Tale. A release becomes the anchor, and later events are ordered by occurrence instead of being split across separate provider feeds.

Each relationship is labeled by how it was established, such as matched by release, occurred after or potentially related, so correlation is not presented as certainty. The example workspace shows a checkout change followed by a conversion drop, a regressed error, a spike in error volume, failed and refunded payments, a rollback and the recovery. Users investigate in ShipTale and open the source provider for detail. The site lists integrations, use cases, free tools and pricing, with a free start.
