Ask HN: How do you track errors privately without self-hosting?

[kyrylo]

You need to track errors and exceptions in your apps. You want privacy and fair pricing.

But you don't want to self-host yourself. What would you do?

[turtleyacht]

The app is actually an emulation running in an app "virtual machine"; you can instrument the VM, and therefore limit how much is actually emitted.

Or, the app has a recording feature, which emits an automation script in a custom DSL. When an error or exception occurs, ask user to reproduce and share the bundle.

there are no ‘charity’ hosting options; you either pay the-market-rate premium for someone else to host you or you self-host & save

[kyrylo]

Would you rather pay a big corp or an indie business to host your errors?

Pay sentry sign data processor contract

[kyrylo]

What specifically draws you to Sentry over self-hosting or smaller players? Would an indie-hosted alternative (with similar privacy guarantees but more personalized support) appeal more?

[galaxy_gas]

Self host whn you need . Indie alternative would need to release codebase and allow export in any time.
