I’m aware of enterprise scale observability tools like ELK stack and datadog. I’d like to monitor my containerized (hobby) web app running on a $6/mo VPS. I’d rather self-host to keep the costs low, but grafana takes up gigabytes of memory that my VPS does not have. Are there any lighter alternatives? My hobby site can handle around 500 concurrent users and I don’t expect much growth.

One way to save costs would be by using journalctl to view logs then setup your app to send you an email whenever an unhandled exception is raised or some other kind of error occurs.
