While it is not specific to CKEditor, it serves a similar purpose of enhancing application stability by managing errors gracefully.
redux-saga is a library that aims to make application side effects (e.g., asynchronous actions) easier to manage, more efficient to execute, and better at handling failures. It provides mechanisms to handle errors and retries, which can be compared to the watchdog functionality in terms of ensuring application robustness.
raven-js is the official browser JavaScript client for Sentry, a real-time crash reporting system. It captures and reports errors in web applications, providing insights into crashes and helping developers to fix issues. Similar to @ckeditor/ckeditor5-watchdog, it focuses on monitoring and recovering from errors.
