Build for testing

To build the plugin for development and testing, run the following command:

make build-dev

Running the above command causes the go mod tidy and go build to run for compiling and generating the plugin binary in the current directory, named gatewayd-plugin-cache.

Sentry

This plugin uses Sentry for error tracking. Sentry can be configured using the SENTRY_DSN environment variable. If SENTRY_DSN is not set, Sentry will not be used.
