NestJS API monitoring & analytics

NestJS structures your app into controllers and providers; Beacon plugs in as a global interceptor that works on both the Express and Fastify platforms. It derives status from thrown HttpExceptions, captures class-validator 400s automatically, and re-throws so your exception filters still run.

100,000 requests per month on the free tier — no credit card to start.

Add Beacon to NestJS in two steps

Drop-in middleware. The SDK defaults to Beacon's hosted ingest endpoint, so you only need a project ingest key — set it as BEACON_INGEST_KEY in your environment.

1. Install
npm install beaconhq
2. Add the middleware
import { NestFactory } from '@nestjs/core';
import { BeaconClient, BeaconInterceptor } from 'beaconhq';
import { AppModule } from './app.module';

const beacon = new BeaconClient({ apiKey: process.env.BEACON_INGEST_KEY });

const app = await NestFactory.create(AppModule);
app.useGlobalInterceptors(new BeaconInterceptor(beacon));
await app.listen(3000);

Create a project in the dashboard to get your ingest key, then deploy. Traffic, latency, errors, and endpoints populate in real time. Full setup in the docs.

Everything you need to keep your NestJS API healthy

One place for traffic, latency, errors, uptime, and scheduled-job health — built for teams who need to know what their API is doing right now.

Traffic & latency percentiles

Per-request volume with p50/p95/p99 latency, so you see real tail latency — not just averages.

Error rates & error explorer

Track 4xx/5xx over time and drill into the exact failing requests, status codes, and endpoints behind an incident.

Endpoint & consumer breakdowns

See which endpoints and which API consumers drive your traffic, errors, and slowest responses — ranked and filterable.

Request-log explorer

A searchable log of individual requests — method, path, status, latency, consumer — the fast path from a metric spike to the requests behind it.

Uptime, cron & heartbeat monitoring

Synthetic uptime checks plus dead-man's-switch heartbeat monitoring for cron jobs and background workers.

Status pages & alerts

Public status pages and multi-channel alerts — email, Slack, PagerDuty, Discord, Teams, and signed webhooks — when something breaks.
