Key information and frequently asked questions
Desole is an error-tracking system you can install in your AWS account, with just a few clicks. It enables organisations to track application exceptions and errors without having to choose between the convenience of software-as-a-service and the security of a self-hosted solution. You fully control the data, so it is easy to enforce compliance, encryption and data security requirements. At the same time, Desole uses highly-scalable AWS resources that can easily handle massive traffic, and auto-size on demand, so you do not have to worry about operating costs or administration.
Desole is free and released under a permissive open-source license (MIT), so you can easily inspect the source code and modify it to fit your needs. It’s also designed to be easily extensible with additional modules and triggers, so you can build additional services or error automation logic on top of it.
Desole works with three key components:
There are no start-up costs associated with Desole. The software is free and opensource, and the AWS services run in your account. The standard Desole application bundle uses only AWS resources that are billed directly for usage, so there are no up-front financial commitments or recurring subscription costs for using it. The basic AWS services used by Desole also come with a generous free tier, meaning that for most small to medium sites, Desole is effectively free or the costs will be negligible.
Compliance with a particular legislation is something your regulators and auditors have to decide on, and we are not in a position to offer legal advice. Having said that, Desole is designed to make it easy to achieve compliance with GDPR and similar privacy-focused regulations:
