Error Tracking, no SaaS Required

SaaS isn’t always an option. Maybe you’re dealing with sensitive data, strict compliance rules, or security protocols that make it a no-go. Maybe you just want to keep your data in-house, under your control. Or maybe you’re just tired of paying for features you don’t need.

Whatever the reason, you still need error tracking that fits your setup – and that’s exactly what Bugsink was built for.

Why Error Tracking?

Errors happen, and tracking them is the first step toward fixing them. Bugsink makes error tracking straightforward and effective:

Stay proactive: Get alerts as soon as something breaks, so you can address issues before they spiral out of control.
See patterns: smart grouping helps you focus on what matters by combining similar errors into clear, actionable issues.
Full context: Detailed stack traces with local variables provide the full context for every error, helping you resolve problems faster.

Error tracking isn’t just about fixing bugs; it’s about building confidence in your code and delivering reliable software. Bugsink keeps you informed, in control, and ready to act.

Why Bugsink?

Bugsink isn’t just another error tracking tool – it’s designed for environments like yours. Here’s why it’s the right choice:

Self-Hosted by Design: Bugsink runs on your infrastructure, giving you full control over your data.
Efficient and Lightweight: Unlike bulky alternatives, Bugsink is built to run smoothly even on modest hardware, such as a $5/month server.
Sentry-Compatible: If you’ve used Sentry SDKs, you don’t need to rewrite your code—just switch to Bugsink and keep going.

With Bugsink, you get powerful error tracking that fits seamlessly into environments where SaaS isn’t an option.
