I'm the founder of Apitally, and today I'm announcing support for Hono and FastAPI apps running on Cloudflare Workers. This new integration uses Cloudflare Logpush. Linked is the official release announcement.

Hey all, I'm the solo founder of Apitally, an indie product for API monitoring & analytics.

Apitally is a lightweight alternative to the large, complex monitoring platforms, built to provide focused insights for REST APIs. It supports most popular frameworks across Python, JavaScript, Go, .NET, and Java.

In addition to logging API requests, Apitally can now capture application logs and correlate them with requests, giving users more context when troubleshooting API issues.

Introducing our new integration for AdonisJS, offering comprehensive API insights and request logging with minimal effort.

Thanks so much for the shout-out and feedback! Definitely true that tracing (likely with OpenTelemetry) would be a very valuable future feature addition - especially for database queries. I actually had that use case come up at work today.

Valid concern that I tried to specifically address in how the SDKs are implemented! The middleware part is actually super lightweight. It only captures relevant metrics from the request and response and stores them in memory. Further processing and sending to Apitally happens asynchronously in the background, in regular intervals. That way the performance impact on request handling is very minimal.

Anecdotally, I noticed zero increase in CPU usage when I added the Apitally SDK to a FastAPI app that handles ~100 req/s. In comparison, adding OpenTelemetry was very noticeable, at least doubling the CPU usage.

Sì, naturalmente! They approve of my spaghetti code

Thank you! The SDKs are open-source, which I believe is the most important part. Users can verify how the integrations work and exactly what data is collected.

To me, privacy-focused also means to avoid collecting sensitive data in the first place. I'm hoping that mostly negates the need for self-hosting, in the spirit of keeping things simple for users.

That said, I'm definitely considering to support self-hosting in the future as well, and possibly open-sourcing the rest of the codebase.

A bit off-topic, but I'm curious. What are the benefits of Bugsink over Sentry? Sentry can also be self-hosted.

> I’m Klaas, the solo founder and developer of Bugsink. Bugsink started when I tried to self-host Sentry for a colleague and realized it was more trouble than it was worth. I built Bugsink as a drop-in replacement that’s easier to set up and works on affordable hardware. Now, it’s my full-time focus.

In the about page. I do agree Sentry self hosting can be a nightmare

This is the correct answer. The detailed version is this:

Sentry is comprised of many services but it has been running just fine on a t3.xlarge for over a year for my team. _shrug_

I ended up playing with the background animtation on your website for 10 minutes, was fun

Thanks, I appreciate the feedback! Datadog is obviously super powerful, maybe partially warranting the price tag, but most of the time the gazillion features just confuse me to the point that I don't want to use it.

ah, makes sense.

fewer features can actually be better because it's simpler.
