Self‑hosted error tracking platform with Django and Angular
GlitchTip provides a self‑hosted, Sentry‑compatible error monitoring solution built on Django and Angular, deployable on DigitalOcean, Heroku, and other cloud platforms.
GlitchTip is a self‑hosted error monitoring system that offers Sentry‑compatible APIs for both backend (Django) and frontend (Angular) applications. It stores events in PostgreSQL, uses Redis for real‑time notifications and task queues, and includes a Celery worker for background processing.
The project supplies ready‑to‑use deployment specifications for DigitalOcean App Platform and Heroku. With a single click you can launch a web service, worker, migration job, and the required PostgreSQL and Redis instances. Minimal configuration is needed—primarily a secret key and optional email settings. Production deployments can be hardened by upgrading to managed PostgreSQL and larger Redis instances.
Ideal for development teams that require full control over their error data, need on‑premise compliance, or already operate within Django/Angular stacks. The MIT‑licensed codebase can be customized, extended, and integrated into existing CI/CD pipelines.
When teams consider GlitchTip, these hosted platforms usually appear on the same shortlist.
