> I mean no slander or disrespect to anyone involved, but there was a DataDog alternative posted sometime in the last few weeks that had a docker-compose with like 15 containers in it. Reminds me of Sentry: https://develop.sentry.dev/self-hosted/ https://develop.sentry.dev/self-hosted/ This is their example docker-compose for self-hosting: https://github.com/getsentry/self-hosted/blob/master/docker-compose.yml https://github.com/getsentry/self-hosted/blob/master/docker-... It has: - exim4 (smtp) - memcached - Redis - PostgreSQL - Zookeeper - Kafka - Clickhouse - geoipupdate - 18 containers for something called snuba (integrates with Clickhouse?) - 2 symbolicator containers - web app - cron - 18 other utility containers - Nginx - relay - 2 vroom containers Meanwhile, as far as the other options in the APM space go, this is how Apache Skywalking looks like: - web app - back end API - database (Elasticsearch/OpenSearch, PostgreSQL, MariaDB/MySQL or something else) I'm glad that generally it's good enough for my needs, because I can't imagine actually having to self-host Sentry. Then again, something like Graylog does log shipping better and without a doubt Sentry has lots of nice features... as long as you don't have to run it yourself, because many people out there won't realistically be able to do so. > EDIT: the repo linked in the GP contains 3 instances of what you could call databases: MariaDB, Mongo, and Redis. That's not too bad, though, but seems like an interesting choice (both a regular RDBMS and a NoSQL one; Redis would probably be useful for caching etc. for either).

Sentry is definitely a bit heavyweight on the services. Though, it makes sense since you’re effectively running everything they run for their saas business built for a whole other scale. The trade off is that it’s far more complex than what anybody needs if they just want to run sentry locally. It used to be a lot simpler but now it’s pretty much impossible to even understand how they store data without spending a long time studying it. To be fair to them though, their migrations and releases have generally been solid and reliable.

What are you talking about? Running Sentry isn't hard despite crazy number of containers as long as you do it their way and use their docker-compose.yml. The problem is running it on 4GB instance with 4GB swap is bare minimum which costs quite a bit to give it a dedicated instance. But you can't beat its features. We should be glad it's provided for free and self hosted version isn't limited. Can't live without it.

You know what skywalking doesn't have though, apparently, is Ruby support! I would love to understand a bit better why this one gets left off the list so often. "There's just nobody interested in putting those two things together" I guess, it's surprising to me though, because Ruby is pretty popular AFAIK.
