 # Official Sentry SDK for Svelte
 
-This SDK is work in progress, and should not be used before officially released.
+[![npm version](https://img.shields.io/npm/v/@sentry/svelte.svg)](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@sentry/svelte)
+[![npm dm](https://img.shields.io/npm/dm/@sentry/svelte.svg)](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@sentry/svelte)
+[![npm dt](https://img.shields.io/npm/dt/@sentry/svelte.svg)](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@sentry/svelte)
+[![typedoc](https://img.shields.io/badge/docs-typedoc-blue.svg)](http://getsentry.github.io/sentry-javascript/)
+
+This SDK is considered **experimental and in an alpha state**. It may experience breaking changes. Please reach out on [GitHub](https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-javascript/issues/new/choose) if you have any feedback or concerns. This SDK currently only supports [Svelte](https://svelte.dev/) and is not yet officially compatible with with [SvelteKit](https://kit.svelte.dev/).
+
+## General
+
+This package is a wrapper around `@sentry/browser`, providing error monitoring and basic performance monitoring
+features for [Svelte](https://svelte.dev/).
+
+To use the SDK, initialize Sentry in your Svelte entry point `main.js` before you bootstrap your Svelte app:
+
+```ts
+// main.js / main.ts
+
+import App from "./App.svelte";
+
+import * as Sentry from "@sentry/svelte";
+import { BrowserTracing } from "@sentry/tracing";
+
+// Initialize the Sentry SDK here
+Sentry.init({
+  dsn: "__DSN__",
+  release: "my-project-name@2.3.12",
+  integrations: [new BrowserTracing()],
+
+  // Set tracesSampleRate to 1.0 to capture 100%
+  // of transactions for performance monitoring.
+  // We recommend adjusting this value in production
+  tracesSampleRate: 1.0,
+});
+
+// Then bootstrap your Svelte app
+const app = new App({
+  target: document.getElementById("app"),
+});
+
+export default app;
+```
+
+The Sentry Svelte SDK supports all features from the `@sentry/browser` SDK. Until it becomes more stable, please refer to the Sentry [Browser SDK documentation](https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/javascript/) for more information and usage instructions.
+
+## Sourcemaps and Releases
+
+To [create releases and upload source maps](https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/javascript/sourcemaps/uploading/cli/) to Sentry, we recommend using [`sentry-cli`](https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-cli). You can create a bash script to take care of creating a release, uploading source maps and finalizing the release:
+
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+
+VERSION=<your version>
+ORG=<your org-slug>
+PROJECT=<your project-slug>
+
+SOURCEMAPS_PATH=./dist
+
+sentry-cli releases new $VERSION --org $ORG --project $PROJECT
+sentry-cli releases files $VERSION upload-sourcemaps $SOURCEMAPS_PATH --org $ORG --project $PROJECT
+sentry-cli releases finalize $VERSION  --org $ORG --project $PROJECT
+```
+
+Please note that the paths provided in this example work for a typical Svelte project that adheres to the project structure set by [create-vite](https://www.npmjs.com/package/create-vite) with the `svelte(-ts)` template. If your project setup differs from this template, your configuration may need adjustments. Please refer to our documentation of [Advanced `sentry-cli` Sourcemaps Options](https://docs.sentry.io/product/cli/releases/#sentry-cli-sourcemaps) and to our [Sourcemaps Troubleshooting Guide](https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/javascript/sourcemaps/troubleshooting_js/).
