Why do you want to replace Sentry? It's mature and works well.

Not sure how the license makes a difference in terms of being a value to your day to day development.

But I do love projects that can be self hosted, so Sentry is very nice on that part, especially when it doesn't limit its capability on the self hosted version.

Also this one doesn't even have PHP sdk and the GitHub issue doesn't have much of a request for it, which sounds like it has still some way to go to be mature given the lack of interest in the project at this point.

Couldn't they just reuse other project's sdk or help with OpenTelemetry? Developing yet another batch of sdk for a dozen language seems like wasted time.

But I do hope we get a nice open source (self hostable) tool that can do what it claims (error reporting, tracing, logging, metrics) because there's no such thing that does all well at the moment that's mature.

Keep an eye out for Highlight then!

We use OpenTelemetry for all of our SDKs. All we do is thinly wrap the SDK so developers don't have to deal with OpenTelemetry internal if they don't want to.

There's a doc on it here: https://www.highlight.io/docs/general/company/open-source/co...

Thank you for the response and sorry for not doing the homework there.

Looking forward to seeing the project take off as we need to glue stuff together from various projects to achieve your goal now.

No worries, and we appreciate it.

Isn’t sentry also open source and also using clickhouse at least in some parts?

yes to the second https://github.com/getsentry/self-hosted/blob/23.4.0/docker-... and only after the embargo is over to the first: https://github.com/getsentry/self-hosted/blob/23.4.0/LICENSE...

I also miss the "good old days" when running sentry was like 3 containers, not the 32 of modern Sentry

Yeah, fair point. Sentry has added quite some features and increased complexity. Probably for good reasons like serving large customers. But still

fwiw, we don't really see a need for more than a handful of containers, even long term. we want to make it easy to self-host Highlight. nonetheless, sentry is a reputable project. they deserve the success they've had so far.

Thanks, appreciate the kind note on the license. And yeah, air is really nice; we've been using it since the beginning. Gives us a "JS hot-reloading" like experience with a server-side app.
