Acralyzer is a project for offering a free, independent, open source backend for ACRA reports.

ACRA is a lightweight open source library enabling Android applications to send detailed crash repors to a Google Docs spreadsheet... or other backends with the help of provided generic senders or custom made ones.

Lots of android developer start with ACRA and the Google Doc spreadsheet because the solution is free, reliable, and does not require any technical knowledge to setup.

The inconvenience is that the spreadsheet user interface is not ideal for analytics needs and tends to become slow as hell when thousands of reports are stored.

Third party backend have been developed, offer rich user interfaces with free plans. There really are nice solutions... but, they are not open source, not independent, and can't be self hosted.

Acralyzer is the project lead by ACRA's creator, Kevin Gaudin, to define and implement a backend with these constraints:

• free and open source
• self hostable to keep your crash data private
• secure
• simple to install and deploy
• scalable (should be able to handle very large numbers of reports)
• provide feature to sort, filter and visualize reports and stats

This Wiki is proposed to the ACRA users community as a place to define and prioritize the features that should be implemented in this backend.
