We also found the same problem as OP with self hosting sentry. Each release would unleash more containers and consume more memory until we couldn't run anything on the 32gb server except Sentry.
We looked at both GlitchTip and BugSink and only settled on GlitchTip as it was maintained by a bigger team. Feature wise they were quite similar and both good alternatives.
So far so good with GlitchTip.
And thanks Op for making BugSink, the more alternatives the better.
GlitchTip had replaced our Sentry (9.x, pre-Clickhouse madness). It was just a matter of updating DSN in a few Configmaps/Secrets, good to go from day one. The UI is a bit buggy and "resolve" doesn't always work, but it does 99% of what Sentry did with 10% of the effort to maintain a modern Sentry setup.
Although with Bugsink (which is what came out of this origin story of annoyance) I'm aiming for _even more_ simple (1 Docker container at minimum, rather than 4), 30 seconds up and running etc.
Hello, ping me (GlitchTip lead) if you want to collaborate. Your stack is also Django. I'd be open to simplifying - we could probably make Redis optional. I have an experimental script that runs celery and Django in one process. But I think Postgres is a must have. So that gets down to two. My hope is that GlitchTip works for super small use cases and scales with minimal thought required.
I saw the headline and wanted to make sure someone mentioned GlitchTip. It doesn't have all of the functionality of Sentry but has all of the functionality I need. We have been running it in production for a year with no problems. Given our small user base (<1000 users), Sentry did not make sense.
Also a fan of GlitchTip so far. I only recently (last month or so) started using it. I made a railway template for it and have been using it to monitor a handful sites. I used valkey and minio for storage. Makes it super easy to spool up an instance.
We run them both as we are evaluating glitchtip, but, at least for us, it has so many bugs vs sentry. But it's so much lighter so we try to stick with it.
+1 for Glitchtip.

And actually open source, which matters to some folks
Indeed it does!

Can you say what kind of bugs? This application looks interesting; I want to try it instead of https://healthchecks.io/
