Raygun: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Raygun is an application monitoring service for web and mobile apps. The product includes crash reporting to detect and analyse errors, real user monitoring for front-end performance, and server-side application performance monitoring (APM) with root-cause analysis and code-level context for traces. An AI feature prompts a chosen language model with error context taken from stack traces, the environment and the affected code. It also offers alerting, dashboards, deployment tracking and Core Web Vitals. Teams connect it through lightweight SDKs and agents and integrations with Slack, GitHub, Jira and Bitbucket. Data is collected and viewed in Raygun's hosted service.

Raygun Limited is a New Zealand company based in Wellington. According to the vendor's GDPR page, all Raygun data is stored in the AWS US-EAST-1 region; no EU region is mentioned. A European organisation that handles personal data in error reports therefore has to account for storage in the United States and document the legal basis for the transfer.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Raygun

Raygun is headquartered in NZ, outside the EU. Contracts and data therefore also fall under non-European law. The GDPR applies through contractual terms, but in a conflict with local legislation you have less certainty than with a European vendor.

Raygun hosts data outside the EU (US). Personal data therefore leaves the EU, which requires a transfer mechanism under the GDPR and pulls the data residency score down.

Raygun is closed source and hosted by the vendor. The encryption keys and the runtime sit with the vendor and switching requires data migration. Ask about bring-your-own-key, export options and open standards.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs Raygun together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
