Description

Sentry has a new Spotlight project which (in addition to many other things) covers most/all of the use cases Kent covers. Details on API endpoints in this discussion:

https://github.com/getsentry/spotlight/issues/1268

We should look at deprecating Kent in favor of Sentry Spotlight. That work involves:

  1. writing up a migration path for Kent -> Sentry Spotlight
  2. deprecating Kent
