## What it is
highlight.io is an open-source, full-stack monitoring platform combining session replay, error monitoring, logging, and distributed tracing. It can be used as a hosted service or self-hosted via Docker.

## Use cases
- monitor errors in my web app
- record user sessions to debug bugs
- self-host an observability platform
- collect and search application logs
- trace requests across my full stack
- alternative to Sentry and LogRocket

## When to choose
- you want an all-in-one open-source alternative to Sentry, LogRocket, and Datadog
- you need session replay combined with error monitoring and logging in one tool
- you want to self-host your monitoring stack with Docker

## When to avoid
- you only need lightweight metrics/APM without session replay
- you cannot spare the recommended 8GB RAM / 4 CPUs for self-hosting
- you need a mature enterprise-grade SLA-backed commercial product

## Facets
- artifact type: service
- maturity: active
- function: monitoring, logging, tracing, alerting, analytics
- domain: monitoring, web-development, self-hosted, developer-tools
- platform: self-hosted, cross-platform, go
- tags: session-replay, error-monitoring, observability, apm, full-stack, open-source, devops, docker, web-server, typescript
