You can host and use Sentry internally yourself, for free, right now (the latest version). Lots of people do.
What you can’t do is leverage that source to compete against its authors, e.g. launch a competing monitoring service. (Please consult the license.)
- bvrmn 3y agoTBH Sentry versions starting from 10 is kinda messy from infrastructure perspective. Sometimes it looks like artificially crafted to be complex to install and operate as a single node to serve like max 100k events/day.
- the_mitsuhiko 3y agoIt's definitely not intentional that self hosted is hard to run, and it's also a concern for us internally. The hard truth is that the scale at which Sentry's largest SaaS installation operates we need to make decisions which are unfortunate for smaller setups. However we're very aware of this challenge. It does not just show up for self hosted, it also complicates the development environments etc. It's not something that is done to harm people who want to self host, it's the consequence of our struggler of balancing the scale we have.
- bvrmn 3y agoThank you for insights. I know how hard it could be to design pluggable backends to fulfill different scaling requirements. Local development hurdles are a real chore, good luck with taming the beast!
