Dynamic Sampling employs advanced sampling techniques to retain a representative sample of the data you send to Sentry. Its algorithms are designed to prioritize keeping samples that are valuable for debugging and analysis, while reducing the retention of common or redundant data.

This process is applied directly on Sentry's servers, which allows you to configure and adjust sampling rates for stored spans right from the UI without needing to modify your SDK. This makes it possible for you to make instant updates without waiting for code freezes, app store approvals, or redeployments.

There are two available flavors of dynamic sampling, depending on the plan type of your organization:

By analyzing incoming traffic patterns, Dynamic Sampling is able to automatically tailor its sample rate to both the actual traffic volume and the content of accepted transactions. For more details, check out the [Dynamic Sampling Priorities](#dynamic-sampling-priorities) section.

You can use both Dynamic and SDK Sampling together to further optimize your event volume for your specific use case. For example, you can set a low SDK sample rate to ensure that only a certain percentage of events are sent to Sentry, and then use Dynamic Sampling to adjust the sample rate based on the event volume received by Sentry.

If your application is configured for Insights and Tracing, Sentry will detect common performance problems, and group them into issues just like it does with errors. Performance issues help to surface performance problems in your application and provide a workflow for resolving them.
