I love Sentry, but it’s very heavy. It runs close to 50 Docker containers, some of which use more than 1GB RAM each. I’m running it on a VPS with 10GB RAM and it barely fits on there. They used to say 8GB RAM is required but bumped it to 16GB RAM after I started using it.

It’s built for large-scale deployments and has a nice scalable enterprise-ready design using things like Apache Kafka, but I just don’t need that since all I’m using it for is tracking bugs in some relatively small C# and JavaScript projects, which may amount to a few hundred events per week if that. I don’t use any of the fancier features in Sentry, like the live session recording / replay or the performance analytics.

I could move it to one of my 16GB or 24GB RAM systems, but instead I’m looking to evaluate some lighter-weight systems to replace it. What I need is:

  • Support for C# and JavaScript, including mapping stack traces to original source code using debug symbols for C# and source maps for JavaScript.
    • Ideally supports React component stack traces in JS.
  • Automatically group the same bugs together, if multiple people hit the same issue
    • See how many users are affected by a bug
  • Ignore particular errors
  • Mark a bug as “fixed in next release” and reopen it if it’s logged again in a new release
  • Associate bugs with GitHub issues
  • Ideally supports login via OpenID Connect

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

    Hello, I’m the lead dev of GlitchTip. Fun to see it mentioned here. Source maps are supported. I wish I had time to make the feature easier to use and write better docs. Contributions are welcome. It’s very much a hobby project for the little time I have after work and family. Right now all of my attention is on an event ingest rewrite to work with fewer resources.
