GlitchTip Error Tracking Server - Sentry-Compatible by Code Creator

GlitchTip is a lightweight, open-source alternative to Sentry that helps you monitor application errors, performance, and uptime without relying on third-party SaaS platforms. This pre-configured AMI from Code Creator deploys a production-ready GlitchTip server on Ubuntu, bundled with PostgreSQL, Redis, and Nginx - giving your team full control over error tracking data within your own AWS environment.

Teams searching for Sentry alternatives on AWS often need to keep error tracking data within their own infrastructure. Whether you are a SaaS startup's engineering team looking to replace a Sentry SaaS subscription to meet data residency requirements, or a growing development shop monitoring multiple microservices, this AMI provides a self-hosted path that eliminates vendor lock-in and recurring SaaS fees.

Because GlitchTip is fully compatible with existing Sentry SDKs, you can integrate it into your applications without changing your instrumentation code. Simply point your SDK configuration to your new GlitchTip instance and begin capturing errors immediately.

• GlitchTip application server - Real-time error tracking, project dashboards, performance monitoring, and uptime checks
• PostgreSQL database - Persistent storage for error events, project data, and user accounts
• Redis - In-memory caching and task queue management for responsive performance
• Nginx reverse proxy - Secure HTTPS access through your instance's public IP address
• First-run administrator setup - Streamlined initial configuration so you can create your admin account and start onboarding projects quickly

• Real-time error tracking - Capture, group, and triage application exceptions as they occur across all your projects
• Performance monitoring - Identify slow transactions and bottlenecks in your application stack
• Uptime monitoring - Track the availability of your services and receive alerts when endpoints go down
• Alerting and notifications - Configure alerts to notify your team through your preferred channels when new issues arise
• Sentry SDK compatibility - Works with the full range of official Sentry client libraries across Python, JavaScript, React Native, and other languages
• Multi-project support - Organize error tracking across multiple applications and teams from a single instance

1. Launch the AMI from AWS Marketplace on your chosen EC2 instance
2. Update the instance IP in the GlitchTip configuration file
3. Create your administrator account through the first-run setup wizard
4. Integrate your applications by installing a Sentry SDK and pointing it to your GlitchTip server

Once running, your team can begin capturing errors, monitoring performance, and tracking uptime across all connected applications.

This deployment is designed for small and medium businesses and development teams who want a self-hosted error tracking solution on AWS. It is well suited for teams that need to keep application telemetry data within their own infrastructure, avoid ongoing SaaS subscription costs, or maintain compatibility with Sentry SDKs while using an open-source backend.

This AMI saves significant installation and configuration effort by packaging all required components into a single, tested deployment. Rather than manually installing and connecting GlitchTip, PostgreSQL, Redis, and Nginx, you get a consistent environment that has been validated to work together out of the box.
