HyperDX
The Open Source Observability Platform.
Overview
HyperDX is an open-source alternative to platforms like Datadog and New Relic, with a unique focus on combining backend telemetry (logs, traces, metrics) with frontend monitoring (session replays). This allows developers to trace an issue from a user's click on the frontend all the way to a backend database query, providing complete context for debugging.
✨ Key Features
- Correlated logs, traces, metrics, and session replays
- OpenTelemetry native
- Full-text search across all telemetry data
- Open source with a managed cloud option
- Automatic instrumentation for popular frameworks
🎯 Key Differentiators
- Integration of session replays with backend traces and logs
- Developer-first experience
- Open source
Unique Value: Provides unparalleled context for debugging web applications by linking user session replays directly to backend telemetry data.
🎯 Use Cases (4)
✅ Best For
- Watching a session replay of a user encountering a bug, then instantly pivoting to the associated logs and traces to find the root cause
- Searching for all logs and traces related to a specific user ID across all services
💡 Check With Vendor
Verify these considerations match your specific requirements:
- Monitoring non-web applications (e.g., embedded systems, mobile apps)
- Large enterprises requiring extensive compliance and support guarantees
🏆 Alternatives
Offers a more integrated full-stack debugging experience than tools that focus only on the frontend (like LogRocket) or only on the backend (like Jaeger). It provides this as a cohesive open-source package.
