## What it is
Bugsink is a self-hosted error tracking service that collects exceptions from running applications and presents stacktraces, code, and local variables in a central web UI. It is compatible with Sentry's open-source SDKs, so existing Sentry-instrumented apps can switch by changing the DSN.

## Use cases
- self-host sentry alternative for error tracking
- track production exceptions with stacktraces and local variables
- point existing sentry SDKs at a cheaper backend
- get slack or discord alerts when new errors appear
- group duplicate errors into issues automatically
- keep error data on my own servers for GDPR compliance

## When to choose
- you want Sentry-SDK-compatible error tracking you can self-host cheaply
- you need full data isolation or EU hosting for compliance
- you find Sentry too complex or expensive at your event volume
- you want a lightweight error tracker that runs on ARM or a single server

## When to avoid
- you need full application performance monitoring (APM), tracing, or profiling beyond error tracking
- you prefer a fully managed SaaS with zero infrastructure
- you need deep ecosystem integrations and plugins of a mature platform like Sentry
