What is bugstack?
bugstack is an automated code repair platform that catches runtime errors in production via a lightweight SDK, writes surgical fixes (max 3 files, 30 lines changed, no new dependencies), runs them through your existing CI pipeline, and opens tested pull requests on GitHub. The full cycle from error to PR takes under 2 minutes.
How It Works
bugstack follows a three-step process every time a runtime error occurs in production:
- Detect — The bugstack SDK captures the error, stack trace, and surrounding context from your running application and sends it to the bugstack platform.
- Fix — bugstack analyzes the error, reads the relevant source files from your repository, and writes a minimal, targeted fix that resolves the root cause.
- Ship — The fix is committed to a new branch, your CI pipeline runs against it, and a pull request is opened on GitHub for your team to review and merge.

What bugstack Fixes
bugstack targets clear-cut runtime errors that have a single, unambiguous fix:
- Null/nil reference errors — TypeError, NoneType, NoMethodError nil:NilClass, nil pointer dereference
- Missing or incorrect imports — ImportError, ModuleNotFoundError, wrong relative paths
- Type mismatches — calling methods on wrong types, unexpected argument types
- Unhandled async failures — missing await, unhandled promise rejections
- Key/index access errors — KeyError, index out of range, undefined property access
- Framework-specific errors — hydration mismatches, ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound, route handler crashes
What bugstack Does NOT Fix
bugstack is intentionally scoped. It does not attempt to fix:
- Silent logic errors — bugs that produce wrong results without throwing an exception
- Architecture changes — refactors that require restructuring multiple modules or services
- Dependency management — upgrading libraries, resolving version conflicts, or adding new packages
- Database migrations — schema changes, data backfills, or migration conflicts
- Business logic requiring domain knowledge — rules that only a human with context about the product can define
Getting Started
Setting up bugstack takes about 30 seconds:
- Connect GitHub — Authorize bugstack and select the repositories you want monitored.
- Install the SDK — Add the bugstack SDK to your application (available for JavaScript, Python, Ruby, and Go).
- Deploy — Push your updated code to production. bugstack starts monitoring immediately.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does bugstack replace my error monitoring tool?
No. bugstack works alongside tools like Sentry, Datadog, and PagerDuty. Those tools alert you to errors; bugstack goes one step further and actually fixes them. You can keep your existing monitoring stack and add bugstack on top.
Is it safe to let bugstack push code to my repository?
bugstack never pushes directly to your main branch. Every fix is opened as a pull request that runs through your existing CI pipeline. Your team reviews and merges the PR just like any other code change. You can also require manual approval on any or all repositories.
What languages and frameworks does bugstack support?
bugstack currently supports JavaScript/TypeScript (Express, Next.js), Python (Flask, FastAPI, Django), Ruby (Rails), and Go (Gin, Echo, stdlib). Additional language support is on the roadmap.
