What it is
Bugsink collects exceptions from running applications and displays them centrally so developers can investigate production failures. It works with Sentry’s open-source SDKs; an application can send events after its DSN is changed. Repeated errors are grouped into issues, with search and trends to support review, resolution, or muting. Debugging information includes stack traces, code, and local variables. Alerts can be sent through email, Slack, Mattermost, Discord, Microsoft Teams, Telegram, or custom HTTP endpoints. Customers can use Bugsink’s managed hosting or self-host the product on their own infrastructure. The company says hosted service data is located in the European Union, while self-hosted data remains on the customer’s infrastructure. The hosted free tier allows 15K monthly events, one user, and 5K retained events. The 75K Events plan costs $16 a month and includes unlimited users and 75K retained events; 600K Events costs $50 a month with 600K retained events and unlimited users. Self-hosting costs nothing, includes all features and unlimited users, and bases volume on hardware.
