Telebugs

Product Introduction

1. Telebugs is a self-hosted error tracking system designed to simplify monitoring applications by collecting, grouping, and alerting developers about errors through Sentry-compatible SDKs.
2. The core value of Telebugs lies in its one-time payment model, lightweight infrastructure, and full data ownership, enabling organizations to maintain control over error tracking without recurring subscription costs or third-party data exposure.

Main Features

1. Telebugs integrates seamlessly with existing Sentry SDKs, allowing developers to replace or supplement Sentry without modifying their codebase by simply updating the DSN (Data Source Name) configuration.
2. The system operates via a single Docker container deployable on any server with minimal hardware requirements (1GB RAM, 1 CPU core), automatically generating SSL certificates during setup for secure data transmission.
3. Error reports include detailed diagnostics such as backtraces, HTTP request contexts, breadcrumbs, and custom metadata, with automatic grouping by frequency and severity to prioritize issue resolution.
4. Teams receive real-time alerts through email or Progressive Web App (PWA) push notifications and can collaborate across unlimited projects via browser-based access without requiring individual licenses.

Problems Solved

1. Telebugs eliminates the operational complexity and high maintenance costs of self-hosting Sentry, which requires 20+ services and DevOps expertise, by offering a streamlined single-container deployment.
2. It targets organizations seeking to avoid vendor lock-in, recurring SaaS fees, and data privacy risks associated with cloud-based error monitoring platforms like Sentry, Bugsnag, or Rollbar.
3. Typical use cases include regulated industries (healthcare, finance) requiring on-premise data storage, development teams using staging environments to conserve production error quotas, and agencies providing clients with permanent error tracking solutions without ongoing costs.

Unique Advantages

1. Unlike Sentry’s resource-heavy self-hosted version, Telebugs uses 98% fewer system resources, processing up to 240 errors per second on a 16-core CPU while scaling linearly with hardware upgrades.
2. The product enforces zero data retention policies by default, ensuring compliance with GDPR, CCPA, and PECR regulations without requiring manual configuration or third-party audits.
3. Competitive pricing at $299 for perpetual licensing undercuts annual SaaS competitors by $289–$588 per year, with no event limits or feature-gated tiers, making it cost-effective for scaling organizations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Is Telebugs truly a one-time payment with no hidden fees? Telebugs requires a single $299 payment for lifetime access to all features, including updates within the same major version (e.g., 1.x), with no error quotas, user limits, or mandatory upgrade costs.
2. Can Telebugs function without prior Sentry experience? Yes, Telebugs operates as a standalone error tracker compatible with any application capable of sending HTTP error payloads, though Sentry SDK users benefit from immediate compatibility without code changes.
3. Does one Telebugs license cover multiple applications? A single license supports unlimited applications and projects under one domain, allowing centralized monitoring of frontend, backend, and mobile apps through shared SDK configurations.
4. How are updates handled without a subscription model? The system checks daily for minor version updates (e.g., 1.0 to 1.1) and installs them automatically, while major version upgrades (e.g., 2.0) remain optional and separately priced if adopted.
5. Are refunds available if Telebugs doesn’t meet requirements? No refunds are provided post-download due to the irreversible nature of digital product delivery, though buyers can review the Telebugs manual and system requirements before purchasing.
