HyperDX is an open-source production monitoring and debugging platform for bringing logs, metrics, traces, and user sessions together.
What HyperDX is
HyperDX is an open-source production monitoring and debugging platform for bringing logs, metrics, traces, and user sessions together. Engineering teams can search events in full text without complex query syntax, build visualizations and alerts, and follow logs as they arrive. The platform automatically links session replays to backend logs and traces and groups recurring log patterns into clusters. It is powered by ClickHouse and OpenTelemetry, and supports vendor-neutral OpenTelemetry instrumentation. Documented SDKs cover Elixir, Go, Java, browser JavaScript, Nest.js, Next.js, Node.js, Python, React Native, and Ruby on Rails. Alerts can be sent through Slack, email, or PagerDuty. HyperDX supports cloud and self-hosted deployment, as well as web, Linux, and API use. The Free plan is free for 3 GB per month, three-day retention, and up to one user. Starter is $20 a month for 50 GB per month, 30-day retention, and unlimited users; additional data and metrics may incur charges. Enterprise pricing is custom, with custom retention, SAML SSO, and volume discounts listed. HyperDX links to a SOC 2 Type II Security and Trust Center and lists email and Discord support.
