HyperDX
HyperDX is a cloud-based production monitoring and debugging tool that brings logs, metrics, traces, and user sessions together. It is an open-source observability platform powered by ClickHouse and OpenTelemetry, with cloud and self-hosted deployment options across web, Linux, API, and self-hosted environments. Full-text search works across events without complex query syntax. Users can create visualizations and alerts, while notifications can go to Slack, email, or PagerDuty. Session replays link automatically with backend logs and traces, and recurring log patterns are grouped into clusters. Documented SDKs cover Elixir, Go, Java, browser JavaScript, Nest.js, Next.js, Node.js, Python, React Native, and Ruby on Rails. The Free plan costs nothing and includes 3 GB monthly, 3-day retention, and one user. Starter costs $20 a month with 50 GB, 30-day retention, and unlimited users. Enterprise has custom pricing. Billing adds charges above 50 GB monthly and for metrics usage.
