Show HN: Bugsink – Self-Hosted Error Tracking

7 pointsvanschelven6 comments

I built Bugsink because I wanted error tracking I could run myself, without maintaining a complex stack. It runs with pip install or a single Docker container, stores events locally (SQLite, MySQL, or Postgres), and is easy to run and keep running.

It’s API compatible with the Sentry SDKs, so you can keep your existing client setup. Bugsink focuses on error tracking only and is fast enough to process millions of events per day on modest hardware.

The 1.5 release introduces sourcemaps support: https://www.bugsink.com/blog/bugsink-1.5-introducing-sourcem...

Can't you just self-host Sentry? https://www.bugsink.com/blog/why-i-gave-up-on-self-hosted-se...

Hey! Saw it last week...I have a few questions for you :)

- How does it compare to GlitchTip, for instance? - Is it "feature complete" / production-ready? - Are you using it some prod projects yet?

It seems to be mostly a one-band, so curious about your current production usage, and dedication to it :)

* It's certainly production-ready; the installed base for serious use (visiting at least weekly, deployed somewhere) is in the hundreds and we have users with ~1M events daily. Obviously, I'm using it myself in all my production projects.

* "feature complete" depends on your feature-set :-). It's very much focused on Error Tracking; APM is not on the roadmap. But within the feature-set of Error-Tracking, I'd like to think it's best-of-class.

* Comparison with GlitchTip: Bugsink is built from the ground up with self hosting in mind. You'll first notice the difference when going through the installation instructions (getting started is literally faster than signing up for a SaaS solution) but it also shows e.g. in the required maintenance.

* One-band: yes, but I've incorporated and I'm serious about it.

Awesome! Thanks for the detailed answer :)

Sounds promising! I'll have a closer look and likely give it a shot soon-ish.

Biased, I know the founder but I like the product and I like the reactivity in the implementation of the community feedback!

I think this is referencing the implementation of sourcemaps :-)

As per HN guidelines, I'm available for questions.
