Example: a product page uses
async function getProducts() {
'use cache';
cacheLife('hours');
return db.query('SELECT * FROM products');
}
Visitor A at 09:00 misses. The DB query runs, 800 ms, trace A. Visitor B at 14:00 gets a 2 ms hit and complains about yesterday's price. B's trace shows a fast green cache.get and nothing else. Trace A, where the content came from, cannot be found from B.
Solves: you can navigate from any cache hit to the render that produced the content. One bad render can serve thousands of visitors, and today the render is the one trace you cannot reach.
Fix idea: at handler set, store the active trace context keyed by cache-key digest (mechanism per the transport decision, 3.2). At a get hit, always attach a real span link: span.addLink() with sentry.link.type: 'cache_origin' pointing at the fill span. The link is unconditional and the durable data model; it renders in the span drawer today and needs no SDK change once Sentry stores links first-class. Separately, duplicate it into the flat bridge attribute, but only if the backend meeting lands on "EAP links take too long". The prototype verified the link round-trips. Acceptance: an E2E miss/hit pair shows the span link on the hit transaction, independent of the bridge attribute.
