HyperDX
Open-source observability unifying session replay, logs, traces, and errors — now part of ClickHouse.
Acquired — still operating
acquired by ClickHouse Mar 2025; OSS active
About
HyperDX is an open-source, developer-friendly observability platform that unifies session replays, logs, metrics, traces, and errors in one OpenTelemetry-native UI backed by ClickHouse. Its standout feature is correlating frontend session replays with backend traces, so you can watch what a user did and see exactly which service call failed underneath. The repo is MIT-licensed with ~9,600 stars. ClickHouse acquired HyperDX in March 2025 to build out its observability story, and the open-source project remains under active development alongside HyperDX Cloud.
The honest picture: the acquisition means the roadmap now serves ClickHouse's strategy first — good for ClickHouse users, worth watching for everyone else. As a younger project than SigNoz or Grafana's stack, its integration ecosystem is thinner. Session replay is powerful but adds meaningful data volume, so retention costs deserve attention on the cloud tier.
