Apitally - Metrics, logs, and alerts for Elysia

[itssimon]

Hey Elysia community,

When shipping APIs, having access to logs and metrics is crucial to understand API usage and troubleshoot issues. 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 and analytics 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 apps via a lightweight plugin, which captures metrics and logs for all API requests and asynchronously sends them to Apitally in regular intervals, without affecting performance.

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");
