Tindra

German self-hosted and EU-managed monitoring for errors, performance, logs, uptime, and cron jobs, with Sentry SDK compatibility.

Auto-alojadoParcialmente alojado en la UE

Tindra is an application monitoring product from Blendbyte GmbH in Berlin. It combines error tracking, performance traces and profiling, searchable logs, HTTP uptime checks, and cron job monitors in one interface.

Teams can self-host it as a single Go binary backed by PostgreSQL, or use Tindra Managed as a dedicated EU-hosted instance. Existing Sentry SDKs can point at a Tindra DSN, which lowers migration cost for stacks already instrumented that way.

The concrete differentiator is operational simplicity plus breadth in one package: Docker install with one Postgres, shared investigation filters across errors, logs, and traces, and a built-in MCP server for AI-assisted debugging, under Elastic License 2.0 for the self-hosted build.

EU-operatedSelf-hostedSource-available (ELv2)Sentry SDK compatiblePublic DPA

Shortlist Tindra when you want Sentry-compatible debugging plus logs, profiling, uptime, and cron in a single Go/Postgres deployment under a German GmbH, either self-hosted or as dedicated EU Managed. Skip when you need published ISO/SOC evidence, a public named subprocessor list up front, or OSI-licensed software. Consider Bugsink for a lighter error-tracker focus, or AppSignal for managed APM without self-hosting.

Key capabilities

Ingest via existing Sentry SDKs with a Tindra DSN. Issues group by fingerprint with stack traces, breadcrumbs, tags, assignees, merge/resolve, source maps for JS, and regression detection when a resolved issue returns.

Transaction lists with span waterfalls and p50/p75/p95/p99 latency, plus flame graphs from SDK profilers (transaction-based and continuous). Profiles do not count as billable events on Managed per vendor docs.

Search structured logs and create volume alerts from a query. Probe HTTP/HTTPS endpoints with status and body checks. Track scheduled jobs with Sentry, Oh Dear, and Spatie check-in compatibility.

Carry project, environment, user, and time filters across errors, logs, traces, and web vitals, with shareable URLs. Built-in MCP endpoint lets compatible AI tools inspect events, stack frames, and breadcrumbs.

Self-host with Docker plus one Postgres (install script at install.tindra.sh). Managed runs an isolated container and Postgres per customer in the EU, with OAuth/OIDC SSO options and a public DPA for B2B processing.

Best fit when

  • Teams already instrumented with Sentry SDKs that want a European operator or self-hosted backend
  • Small/medium product teams that need errors, traces/profiles, logs, uptime, and cron without a multi-service observability stack
  • Organisations that can run Docker and Postgres and prefer telemetry on infrastructure they control
  • Buyers who need a public Art. 28 DPA for Managed and German governing law

Poor fit when

  • Programmes that require OSI-approved open source rather than Elastic License 2.0
  • Procurement that blocks vendors without a public subprocessor list or published ISO 27001/SOC 2
  • Large estates that need Sentry-class ecosystem breadth, multi-region SaaS controls, or heavyweight observability platforms
  • Teams unwilling to operate Postgres for self-host, and unwilling to use Managed

Consider instead when

  • When: You mainly need a lightweight Sentry-compatible error tracker with a Dutch vendor

    Consider: Bugsink

    Narrower scope; strong self-host story without Tindra’s broader monitors/profiling bundle

  • When: You want managed APM and do not want to run the monitoring database yourself

    Consider: AppSignal

    Netherlands SaaS APM; less emphasis on one-binary self-host

  • When: You need the largest SDK/integration ecosystem and global SaaS scale

    Consider: Sentry

    US incumbent; compare residency options and total cost carefully

Considerations & known limitations

  • MediumElastic License 2.0 is not OSI open source

    Self-host source is available, but ELv2 forbids offering Tindra to third parties as a managed service and is not OSI-approved. Confirm license fit before assuming “open source” procurement status.

  • MediumSubprocessor list not published

    DPA states EU-based subprocessors with identities available on request. Buyers who need named hosting/email vendors before shortlist should request the list early.

  • MediumNo public ISO/SOC or independent audit

    Assurance relies on vendor TOMs in the DPA annex (TLS, encryption at rest, isolation, MFA for prod access). No public cert pack found for questionnaire automation.

  • LowYoung public codebase

    Public GitHub repository dates from May 2026. Treat operational maturity, roadmap continuity, and community size as diligence items.

Open questions for due diligence

  • Will Blendbyte provide the current named subprocessor list (hosting, email, backups) under NDA or email before contract?
  • Which EU cloud or datacentre operator runs Tindra Managed containers and object storage?
  • Are ISO 27001, SOC 2, or independent penetration-test summaries available on request for enterprise security review?
  • For self-host at scale, what are supported retention, sharding, and high-availability patterns beyond single Postgres?

Preguntas Frecuentes

The self-hosted distribution is source-available under Elastic License 2.0, not an OSI-approved open-source license. ELv2 allows use and modification with restrictions, including a ban on offering the software to third parties as a hosted or managed service. Tindra Managed is a commercial service from Blendbyte GmbH under separate Terms.

Yes for supported Sentry-compatible SDKs. Point the DSN at your Tindra instance, use guided setup to confirm a test event, and verify source maps against real frames. Language coverage documented by the vendor includes PHP, JavaScript/Node, Python, Ruby, Go, and others via the Sentry protocol.

Vendor legal pages state Managed data is processed and stored in the EU with no transfer outside the EU without prior written authorisation. A public GDPR Art. 28 DPA is published at tindra.sh/dpa. The detailed subprocessor list is available on request rather than on a public webpage; ask for it during procurement.

Official docs specify Docker with Compose, one Postgres database, and roughly 512 MB RAM minimum (1 GB recommended). An install script writes compose files, pulls images, and creates the first admin account. There is no separate Kafka/ClickHouse requirement in the documented default path.

Choose Bugsink if you mainly need a lightweight Sentry-compatible error tracker and prefer that Dutch product’s narrower scope. Choose AppSignal if you want a managed APM SaaS and do not want to operate a Postgres-backed monitor yourself. Stay with Tindra when one binary covering errors, profiles, logs, uptime, and cron under a German entity matters more.
