Errbit is an open-source, self-hosted error catcher that collects and manages error notifications from other applications. It is Airbrake API compliant, so existing Airbrake clients like the airbrake gem can be pointed at an Errbit server without code changes.

Use cases

• self-host an alternative to Airbrake for error tracking
• collect and group exceptions from multiple applications
• view error backtraces and summaries in a web UI
• route crash reports from apps using the airbrake gem
• track errors across deployments per app and environment
• avoid sending error data to third-party SaaS services

When to choose

• you want Airbrake-compatible error reporting without SaaS fees
• you need error data to stay on your own infrastructure
• you already use the airbrake gem or compatible clients
• you are comfortable deploying and maintaining a Rails app with MongoDB

When to avoid

• you want a zero-maintenance hosted solution
• you are not comfortable operating Rails applications and MongoDB
• you need advanced APM features beyond error collection
• your stack has no Airbrake-compatible error reporter available
