What is HyperDX?
HyperDX is an open-source observability platform designed to help engineering teams resolve production issues rapidly by unifying session replays, logs, traces, metrics, and errors in a single interface. It offers blazing-fast search performance powered by ClickHouse, enabling users to search terabytes of events in seconds with an intuitive full-text search syntax that eliminates the need for complex queries.
The platform automatically clusters event patterns to condense billions of events into distinctive clusters and correlates session replays with backend logs and traces for comprehensive troubleshooting. Users can visualize data in detail using an intuitive chart builder to graph and share logs, metrics, and traces, such as charting errors grouped by customer ID. HyperDX supports vendor-agnostic instrumentation through OpenTelemetry, allowing teams to instrument their stack in minutes without fear of vendor lock-in.

FAQs
-
How does HyperDX achieve cheaper pricing compared to competitors?
HyperDX uses infrastructure built on ClickHouse and object storage for efficient computation and storage, minimizing costs, and avoids expenses like sales teams that traditional vendors incur. -
What happens if I exceed my plan's included storage?
For paid plans, additional data over the initial 50GB per month is charged at $0.40 per GB, and metrics are charged at $0.40 per 100 metric DPM. -
How is a GB of data defined?
A GB is counted as the amount of uncompressed data originally sent to HyperDX, regardless of whether it's a span, user session, or log message. -
How are metrics billed?
Metrics are billed based on metric DPM (data points per minute), with charges for higher or lower resolution metrics adjusted accordingly. -
Does HyperDX limit based on number of alerts, dashboards, or users?
No, billing is based solely on the volume of data sent, with no limits on alerts, dashboards, or users.
