No. Relay is designed for multitenant use and can ingest telemetry from many services simultaneously.
Q2: Can Relay apply different sampling per service?
Yes — but sampling rules are managed in Sentry, not Relay. Relay enforces them.
Q3: Does Relay introduce latency?
No significant latency. In fact, it often reduces total ingestion time by localizing processing.
Q4: Can Relay help with GDPR?
Yes. Relay can scrub PII before it ever leaves your infrastructure, aiding compliance.
Q5: Is Relay necessary if I use Sentry Cloud?
Not mandatory — but highly recommended if you need control, filtering, and cost reduction.
