Welcome to Loggy: Simple, Beautiful Observability

Hey there! We’re really excited to finally share what we’ve been working on. Loggy is now in public beta, and honestly, it feels like we’ve been building toward this moment for a long time. If you’ve ever found yourself frustrated with logging tools that are either way too complicated or way too expensive, we built this for you.

The Problem We Kept Running Into

Here’s the thing - we’ve been developers for years, and we kept hitting the same wall over and over again. You’re working on a project, things are going great, and then something breaks in production. Maybe it’s 2 AM, maybe you’re on vacation, but suddenly you need to figure out what went wrong. So you open up your logging dashboard and… it’s a mess. Either you’re drowning in data you can’t make sense of, or you’re paying hundreds of dollars a month for features you don’t even use.

We tried a bunch of different tools over the years. Some were powerful but had such a steep learning curve that it took weeks to feel comfortable. Others were simple but missing basic features we needed. And almost all of them felt like they were designed for massive enterprise teams with dedicated DevOps engineers, not for small teams or solo developers who just want to ship code and know when something goes wrong.

So we decided to build something different. We wanted a tool that we’d actually enjoy using - something that looks good, works fast, and doesn’t require a PhD to set up. That’s Loggy.

What Loggy Actually Does

At its core, Loggy is an observability platform, but let me break that down into plain English. It does four main things, and they all work together to give you a complete picture of what’s happening in your application.

First, there’s centralized logging. Instead of SSH-ing into servers or digging through local files, all your logs stream to one place in real-time. You can search through them, filter by log level, and actually find what you’re looking for without wanting to throw your laptop out the window. We built a search syntax that lets you do things like userId:123 to find all logs related to a specific user, or tag:payments to see everything tagged with payments. It sounds simple, but it makes a huge difference when you’re debugging.

Second, we have heartbeat monitoring. This one’s for all those cron jobs and scheduled tasks that run in the background. You know the ones - the nightly database backup, the hourly report generator, the weekly cleanup script. The problem with these jobs is that when they fail, they often fail silently. Nobody notices until a week later when someone asks why the backups stopped. With heartbeats, your job pings Loggy when it completes successfully. If we don’t hear from it when we should, we let you know something’s wrong.

Third, there’s alerting. This is for Pro and Team users, and it’s pretty straightforward. You can set up rules like “tell me if I get more than 10 errors in 5 minutes” or “alert me if a heartbeat goes down.” We’ll send you an email so you can catch problems before your users do.

And fourth, we have status pages. These are public pages you can share with your users to show them the current status of your services. You can customize them with your logo and colors, and they update automatically based on your heartbeats or URL checks. No more manually updating a status page when something goes wrong.

Getting Started Is Actually Easy

We’re not just saying this - you can literally be up and running in under five minutes. Here’s all you need to do:

npm install @loggydev/loggy-node

Then in your code:

import { CreateLoggy } from '@loggydev/loggy-node';

const loggy = CreateLoggy({
  identifier: 'my-app',
  accessToken: 'your-project-token',
});

loggy.info('Hello, Loggy!');

That’s genuinely it. Your logs will start showing up in your dashboard immediately. No configuration files to write, no agents to install, no infrastructure to manage. Just install the package, add a few lines of code, and you’re done.

And if you’re already using a logging library you love - whether it’s Winston, Pino, Bunyan, or something else entirely - you don’t have to switch. Loggy has a simple HTTP API, so you can configure your existing logger to send logs to us. Just point your transport at our ingest endpoint with your project token, and you’re good to go. We’re not trying to replace your workflow; we just want to give you a better place to view and search your logs.

A Note on Privacy and Encryption

One thing we take seriously is your data. For Pro and Team users, we offer end-to-end encryption for your logs. The way it works is that your logs get encrypted before they’re stored, and we keep the decryption key secure on our servers. When you view your logs in the dashboard, we decrypt them on the fly so you can read them. This means your sensitive data is protected at rest, and you don’t have to worry about managing encryption keys yourself.

What’s Coming Next

We’re just getting started, and we have a lot of ideas for where to take Loggy. We’re working on team collaboration features so you can invite your coworkers and work together. We’re building out more integrations - Slack and Discord notifications are high on the list. And we’re exploring some analytics features that could help you spot trends and patterns in your logs over time.

But honestly, what we build next depends a lot on what you tell us. We’re a small team, and we read every piece of feedback we get. If there’s something you need that Loggy doesn’t do yet, let us know. We might already be working on it, or it might be exactly the thing we should prioritize next.

Come Join Us

If any of this sounds useful to you, we’d love to have you try Loggy out. The free tier gives you one project with a week of log retention, which is plenty to get a feel for how everything works.

We’re a small team, and we genuinely want to hear from you. If you have thoughts, ideas, complaints, or just want to say hi, email us directly at [email protected]. We read every message, and your feedback directly shapes what we build next. This isn’t a support queue that goes into a void - it’s actually us, and we’ll actually respond.

Thanks for reading, and happy logging!
