### User-Mode/Application-Mode Sessions

<ul>
A user- or application-mode session begins with the start of the application.
Or, it begins with bringing the already started application back from
background to the foreground. In this context, a user is defined by one or
more of the following: a unique ID or UUID, username, or email.

<li style={{listStyleType:'none'}}>
This type of session ends with the closing of the application or with the
application being sent to the background. If the application is in the
background for less than 30 seconds, we do not start the session again.
Applications that are active even on the background (for example, a music
player) should track the sessions manually for the background process.

### Server-Mode/Request-Mode Sessions

<ul>

<li style={{listStyleType:'none'}}>
Server- or request-mode sessions roughly correspond to HTTP requests or RPC
calls in a server setting. A session is started when the server receives a
request, and terminates when the server sends a response.

These are typically high in volume since each session corresponds to a single
request.

Sessions, whether application-mode or request-mode, are submitted to Sentry so you can track the usage and adoption of your application. When a user of your application experiences a crash, error, or abnormal exit, the session will be flagged accordingly, and Sentry calculates derived metrics. The metrics include data such as the number of users that didn't experience a crash in the specified time range.
