Open Source RUM (Real User Monitoring)

Basicrum launched an open-source real user monitoring (RUM) platform that is free to use, fully self-hostable, and hosted exclusively on EU infrastructure with GDPR compliance and zero third-party tracking. The platform pairs a real-time dashboard and widgets with an LLM-powered insights layer that is model-agnostic, letting users plug in OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google Gemini via their own API key to generate performance recommendations and custom data widgets. Basicrum reports 99.99% uptime and analytics on billions of events powered by open-source OLAP, with identifiable data never sent to external sources.
