What is Highlight.io?

Highlight.io is an open source, full-stack monitoring platform that pairs DOM-based session replay with error monitoring, log management, and distributed tracing. It captures console logs, network requests, and errors alongside pixel-accurate session recordings, including canvas, iframe, shadow DOM, and web component support, so engineers can see exactly what a user did before an error occurred. AI-based error grouping reduces duplicate noise across frontend and backend exceptions.

Because backend logs, traces, and frontend sessions live in one product, teams can jump from a specific error straight to the session or log line that caused it. Highlight.io is available as a hosted cloud service or as a self-hosted open source deployment, making it a fit for startups wanting a free tier as well as larger teams wanting on-premises control.
