  • Lighter alternative to self-hosted Sentry, which is heavy and slow

    From 1 comment

  • Good idea to be compatible with Rollbar clients

    From 1 comment
    • > Compatible with any Rollbar client(see https://docs.rollbar.com/docs). Just change the endpoint URL to your errorpush URL. Great idea! Bookmarked.

Objections

  • Depending on a commercial product's protocol may break over time

    From 1 comment
    • I really don't think it's a great idea to be "compatible" with a commercial product that has no link with the project: it can change at any time and break things.

  • Kafka-based approach would not be minimalist

Alternatives named

  • Sentry (self-hosted or SaaS)

    From 2 comments
    • I've only used the SaaS version, but Sentry can be self hosted for free, can't it? Has anyone done this and is it feasable?

  • GlitchTip

    From 1 comment
    • Their is also GlitchTip, which is an Open Source fork of Sentry, created after Sentry went proprietary in order to keep the Open Source legacy maintained. https://glitchtip.com/
