Hey guys, I'm building erlog to try and solve problems with logging. While trying to add logs to my application, I couldn't find any lightweight log platform which was easy to set up without adding tons of dependencies to my code, or configuring 10,000 files. ErLog is just a simple go web server which batch inserts json logs into an sqlite3 server. Through tuning sqlite3 and batching inserts, I find I can get around 8k log insertions/sec which is fast enough for small projects. This is just an MVP, and I plan to add more features once I talk to users. If anyone has any problems with…

Hello HN! Parth, and Shardul here. We have been building unlogged.io for the last 21 months. We started as a time travel debugger and pivoted to record and replay with assertions, mocking, and code coverage. You can save the replays in the form of a JSON and commit them to your git. Both Parth and I come from an e-commerce/payments background where production bugs meant heavy financial losses. Big billion days/Black Friday sales meant months of code freezes with low productivity. Before committing the code, we wanted to replay production traffic and know the breaking changes right…

Hello everyone, there are many log services available and this is my attempt at a better one. Most online logging tools feature convoluted UIs, arbitrary mandatory fields, questionable AI/insights, complex pricing, etc. I hope my application fixes most of these issues. It also has some nice features, such as automatic Geo IP checks and public dashboards. Although I've created lots of software, this is my first open source application (MIT license), the tutorial for selfhosting is hopefully sufficient! Most of my development career has been with C#, NodeJS and PHP. For this project I've…

Over the past few months, we've been building Prism; a fast, developer-first observability UI that's deeply integrated with our open-source database, Parseable. Prism is designed for engineers who debug distributed systems, sometimes at odd hours, and need answers right now, without having to deal with five different tools. Backstory: We spoke to dozens of observability practitioners in large enterprises. Across the board, we heard two things: (1)The RoI on observability tools is hard to justify. (2)OSS leads to tool sprawl, metrics in Grafana, logs in ELK, traces… somewhere. We wanted a…

We built Gonzo to make log analysis faster and friendlier in the terminal. Think of it like k9s for logs — a TUI that can ingest JSON, text, or OpenTelemetry (OTLP) logs, highlight and boil up patterns, and even run AI models locally or via API to summarize logs. We’re still iterating, so ideas and contributions are welcome!

I've done this same println debugging thing so many times, along with some sed/awk stuff to figure out which call was causing the issue. Now it's a small Go package. With some `runtime.Callers` I can usually find the spot by just swapping the existing Mutex or RWMutex for this one. Sometimes I switch the mu.Lock() defer mu.Unlock() with the LockFunc/RLockFunc to get more detail defer mu.LockFunc()() I almost always initialize it with `deadlog.New(deadlog.WithTrace(1))` and that's plenty. Not the most polished library, but it's not supposed to land in any commit, just a temporary…

A few years ago, my team moved from Java to Go. Working on Go projects, we came across a variety of logging frameworks with different APIs outputting messages in different formats. Go seemed to be lacking a logging abstraction like slf4j, which has been so invaluable to the Java ecosystem. Without that abstraction layer, the APIs for configuring logging vary wildly across projects, and libraries must either add a dependency on one of those frameworks or simply avoid structured logging altogether. Dazl is a logging abstraction layer that decouples the logging API from specific Go logging…
