Bugsink is an error tracker you can self-host or use as a hosted service, both fully compatible with the Sentry SDK.
Self-hosted: Data stays fully under your control, no external services required. Hosted: Fully managed EU-based service.
Grouped issues, real-time alerts, and detailed stack traces (including code and local variables).
Bugsink accepts events from any language or framework supported by Sentry's SDKs. Issues are automatically grouped to minimize noise, with real-time notifications when new errors occur.
Detailed stack traces provide source code snippets and local variables, helping you quickly identify the cause of errors. Retention is configurable, with no limits or quotas on events.
The self-hosted version runs efficiently on minimal hardware: a single €5/month VPS easily handles over a million events daily. Installation is quick: deploy a single container, no external dependencies or complicated setup required.
The hosted version runs entirely within the EU, on fully managed infrastructure specifically set up for GDPR compliance. No servers or maintenance required; just point an SDK to Bugsink to start tracking errors immediately.
