HyperDX
What it is
HyperDX is an open-source observability platform for production monitoring and debugging. It brings logs, metrics, traces, and user sessions together, using ClickHouse and OpenTelemetry, with vendor-neutral OpenTelemetry instrumentation. Full-text search works across events without complex syntax. Users can create visualizations and alerts, send notifications through Slack, email, or PagerDuty, and automatically connect session replays with backend logs and traces. 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. HyperDX supports API, Linux, web, and self-hosted use, with both cloud and self-hosted deployment options. The Free plan costs nothing and includes 3 GB monthly, three-day retention, and one user. Starter costs $20 a month with 50 GB monthly, 30-day retention, and unlimited users. Enterprise uses custom pricing. Billing is based on data volume, with additional charges above 50 GB monthly and for metrics usage.
