Introduction
Telesink is a lightweight, open-source real-time event dashboard — a clean, multi-column live feed that shows you exactly what your product is doing right now.
It captures the moments that matter: new signups lighting up, payments processing successfully, deployments going live, background jobs completing, webhooks firing, and any custom events you define. All displayed instantly in a calm, text-first interface so you and your team can literally watch the heartbeat of your business.
No more tailing logs in a terminal, refreshing dashboards, or missing what just happened. With Telesink you finally have an always-on window into your product’s live activity — the kind of instant, shared visibility that makes you feel truly connected to what you built.
Telesink is completely free and open source to self-host forever. A hosted SaaS version with simple recurrent subscription pricing is also available for teams who want zero maintenance.
This manual will guide you through installation (self-hosted or cloud), setting up event streams, integrating via official SDKs (Ruby on Rails with seamless ActiveJob support, JavaScript, PHP, and more) or the generic HTTP API, customizing your live dashboard, and turning real-time visibility into one of your biggest advantages.
