HyperDX
An OpenTelemetry-native observability app with error tracking, logs, traces, and session replay in one.
HyperDX (built on ClickHouse, now part of ClickStack) unifies error tracking with logs, distributed traces, metrics, and session replay in a single self-hostable app, aimed at teams who want Sentry-style error visibility plus broader observability without stitching together several tools. It's fully MIT-licensed and OpenTelemetry-native, so instrumentation isn't tied to a proprietary SDK.
What it does well
- +Fully MIT-licensed with no field-of-use restrictions
- +One app covers errors, logs, traces, and session replay via OpenTelemetry standards
- +Active project (multiple 2026 releases) with a real Discord community
- +Data portability: OpenTelemetry data isn't locked to HyperDX's format
Where it falls short
- −Heavier self-host footprint than a dedicated error tracker — ClickHouse plus supporting services
- −Not a drop-in DSN swap for existing Sentry SDK code; requires OpenTelemetry instrumentation
- −Broader scope means more surface area to operate than a single-purpose tool
