4.4350 starsAlternative to Sentry
Overview
GlitchTip is a free, open-source tool and a self-hostable alternative to Sentry. It's licensed under MIT and written in Python.
GlitchTip is an MIT-licensed error tracking platform that speaks Sentry's API — keep your existing Sentry SDKs and just change the DSN. Where self-hosted Sentry needs dozens of containers and 16GB+ of RAM, GlitchTip runs as a simple Django app with PostgreSQL, adding uptime and performance monitoring on top.
