Apitally - Metrics, logs, and alerts for Elysia

[itssimon]

Hey Elysia community,

When shipping APIs, as developers we need access to relevant logs and metrics to troubleshoot issues effectively and understand API usage/performance. However, I've found that most monitoring tools bury these in bloated dashboards that are a pain to use.

That's why I built Apitally, a simple API monitoring tool for Elysia that focuses on what actually matters for APIs:

• Usage metrics (per endpoint and consumer)
• Error tracking (with stack traces)
• Performance monitoring
• Request logs + correlated application logs
• Uptime monitoring + alerts with Slack/Teams notifications

The open-source Apitally SDK integrates with Elysia via a lightweight plugin, which captures metrics and logs for all API requests and asynchronously sends them to Apitally in regular intervals.

Setup is super easy. Just add a few lines of code to your project ⬇️

import { Elysia } from "elysia";
import { apitallyPlugin } from "apitally/elysia";

const app = new Elysia()
  .use(
    apitallyPlugin({
      clientId: "your-client-id",
      env: "dev", // or "prod" etc.
    }),
  )
  .get("/", () => "hello");

There's a detailed setup guide for Elysia, if you'd like to learn more.
