HyperDX
What HyperDX is
HyperDX is a production monitoring and debugging platform that brings logs, metrics, traces, and user sessions together to help engineering teams investigate production issues. It is open-source and powered by ClickHouse and OpenTelemetry, with vendor-neutral OpenTelemetry support for instrumenting applications. Full-text search across events does not require complex search syntax. Teams can build visualizations and alerts from event data, and alerts can be sent through Slack, email, or PagerDuty. HyperDX connects session replays with backend logs and traces and groups recurring log patterns into clusters. Documented SDKs cover Elixir, Go, Java, browser JavaScript, Nest.js, Next.js, Node.js, Python, React Native, and Ruby on Rails. It offers web, Linux, API, and self-hosted platforms, with cloud and self-hosted deployment options. The Free plan is $0 per month for 3 GB monthly, three-day retention, and one user. Starter is $20 per month for 50 GB monthly, 30-day retention, and unlimited users; additional data and metrics usage can incur charges. Enterprise pricing is custom.
