For small applications having an observability stack like ELK or Prometheus + Grafana tends to outweigh the application itself ito cost and complexity.

I haven't found something I'm 100% happy with to self host and tend to just go with a hosted solution. I'll give statlite a look!

Looks interesting, world be nice to have a dockerized version for easy testing. Is that something you'd consider adding?

Thanks, I can see the value for quick testing. I don’t use Docker in my own setup, but I’d consider adding it. An issue with the workflow you’d expect would be helpful - the tracker is under GitHub -> PVRLabs/statlite -> Issues. (Full GitHub repo link in my HN profile)

I ran across Beszel earlier - it’s a great project! But where Beszel focuses on server and container metrics, StatLite focuses strictly at the application layer-tracking app-level traffic, errors, latency, restarts, and runtime health. Both definitely have their place depending on what you need to observe.
