HyperDX vs Tinylytics

HyperDX vs Tinylytics: at a glance
What is HyperDX?
HyperDX now tags every ClickHouse query it runs, so teams can see which dashboard drives the load.
HyperDX ships as a monorepo of versioned packages (app, api, CLI, common-utils, collector), so one release shows up as several changelog entries. The 2.41.0 wave on October 13 adds PromQL heatmaps, a minimum auto granularity on PromQL sources, and query attribution: every ClickHouse and PromQL query carries an hdx- query_id and a JSON log_comment naming the dashboard, tile, search or alert behind it. The API also stops falling back to a public session secret, and AI assistant calls now emit OpenTelemetry GenAI-convention spans.
What is Tinylytics?
Tinylytics is quietly adding AI and agent integration — MCP queries from the dashboard, n8n hooks.
Tinylytics ships in weekly changelog batches rather than versioned releases, which makes individual releases hard to isolate. The recent period shows two notable additions: the ability to query site analytics through an AI assistant from within the dashboard, and n8n/agent workflow integration for analytics data. The rest is polish — better onboarding confirmations, bot filtering improvements, content monitoring refinements.

◆ Current state
HyperDX ships as a monorepo of versioned packages (app, api, CLI, common-utils, collector), so one release shows up as several changelog entries. The 2.41.0 wave on October 13 adds PromQL heatmaps, a minimum auto granularity on PromQL sources, and query attribution: every ClickHouse and PromQL query carries an hdx- query_id and a JSON log_comment naming the dashboard, tile, search or alert behind it. The API also stops falling back to a public session secret, and AI assistant calls now emit OpenTelemetry GenAI-convention spans.
◆ Where it's heading
Two threads continue: Grafana-style metrics parity (multi-expression PromQL, macros, granularity floors, now heatmaps) and controlling query cost on ClickHouse (bounded Map-key scans, now per-surface query attribution in system.query_log). Security defaults are being tightened for self-hosted deployments, and HyperDX is applying OpenTelemetry's GenAI conventions to its own AI features. The CLI keeps picking up the web app's chart types.
◆ Prediction
Expect query attribution to show up inside the product, for example per-dashboard cost views or limits, and more PromQL visualization types to catch up with the builder. The entries don't show a timeline for either.
Tinylytics
5.0ANALYTICS
Tinylytics is quietly adding AI and agent integration — MCP queries from the dashboard, n8n hooks.
◆ Current state
Tinylytics ships in weekly changelog batches rather than versioned releases, which makes individual releases hard to isolate. The recent period shows two notable additions: the ability to query site analytics through an AI assistant from within the dashboard, and n8n/agent workflow integration for analytics data. The rest is polish — better onboarding confirmations, bot filtering improvements, content monitoring refinements.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is expanding from a minimalist analytics tool into one that pipes data into AI and automation workflows. Passkeys, Ultra AI portfolio insights, and the MCP-accessible dashboard point toward a vision where analytics data is queryable by agents, not just humans reading a chart.
◆ Prediction
Structured API or webhook support that lets automation platforms pull analytics data on demand — rather than periodic exports — would be the natural completion of the n8n and agent integration work.
