GlitchTip accepts events from the official Sentry SDKs, which means adopting it is a DSN change rather than an instrumentation project. Stack traces, breadcrumbs, releases, and issue grouping all work as expected.
It is deliberately smaller in scope than the system it is compatible with, and that is the point: a Django application and a Postgres database, small enough to run beside the thing it monitors.
Decisive facts
- Compatible with the official Sentry SDKs and DSN format
- Issue grouping, stack traces, and breadcrumbs
- Release tracking and regression detection
- Uptime monitoring alongside error events
- Small enough to self-host next to your application
