HyperDX vs OpenHouse: at a glance
What is HyperDX?
HyperDX's CLI connects AI coding agents to your logs with one command.
HyperDX 2.44, published under the ClickStack name, adds `hdx mcp install`, which checks an API key with hidden input and registers the ClickStack MCP server in Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and VS Code. The release also adds team-owned API keys that survive their creator leaving, conditional ad hoc dashboard filters, a working Denoise option, and collector seeds with session ID columns and ZSTD(3) compression. The app's own telemetry moved to the ClickStack SDKs and stable OpenTelemetry semantic conventions.
What is OpenHouse?
OpenHouse adds time-zone-aware retention and per-database table caps.
OpenHouse ships small versioned releases straight from merged pull requests. On November 13 it shipped five: retention policies on string date columns can now take a time zone, operators can cap live tables per database with metrics on usage and rejections, view requests and operations are now audited in full, and two fixes make view property SET/UNSET and REPLACE behave. Earlier in November failed Spark maintenance jobs began exiting as failed.

◆ Current state
HyperDX 2.44, published under the ClickStack name, adds `hdx mcp install`, which checks an API key with hidden input and registers the ClickStack MCP server in Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and VS Code. The release also adds team-owned API keys that survive their creator leaving, conditional ad hoc dashboard filters, a working Denoise option, and collector seeds with session ID columns and ZSTD(3) compression. The app's own telemetry moved to the ClickStack SDKs and stable OpenTelemetry semantic conventions.
◆ Where it's heading
HyperDX is folding into the ClickStack brand and making AI agents a first-class consumer of its data, with key setup moving from copied snippets to a CLI flow. Session replay and OpenTelemetry alignment, started in 2.43, continue at the schema level.
◆ Prediction
Expect the remaining HyperDX package and repository names to switch to ClickStack, following the moved GitHub links, image name and SDKs in this release.
OpenHouse
5.0ANALYTICS
OpenHouse adds time-zone-aware retention and per-database table caps.
◆ Current state
OpenHouse ships small versioned releases straight from merged pull requests. On November 13 it shipped five: retention policies on string date columns can now take a time zone, operators can cap live tables per database with metrics on usage and rejections, view requests and operations are now audited in full, and two fixes make view property SET/UNSET and REPLACE behave. Earlier in November failed Spark maintenance jobs began exiting as failed.
◆ Where it's heading
OpenHouse is adding the controls a shared lakehouse needs at scale: quotas, audit trails and retention that matches business calendars. Views are getting the same governance tables already had.
◆ Prediction
Expect more views milestones after audit (the release is labeled Views M1), and further operator controls for quotas and maintenance.
