Installation

Install the Node or Bun SDK, set a release, and create the client. That is enough for error reporting.

1
Install the package

Add the Node.js/Bun SDK to your app. Bun uses the same package.
```
npm install @rasputin-ai/node
```
2

Set your release

Pass a Git commit SHA as release. On common hosts you can use the platform's existing variable instead of setting RASPUTIN_RELEASE.

Create your client

Initialize Rasputin once when your app starts.

import { RasputinInit } from '@rasputin-ai/node';

const rasputin = RasputinInit({
  dsn: process.env.RASPUTIN_DSN!,
  projectApiKey: process.env.RASPUTIN_PROJECT_API_KEY!,
  release: process.env.RASPUTIN_RELEASE!,
  environment: process.env.NODE_ENV ?? 'development',
  enabled: ['staging', 'production'].includes(process.env.NODE_ENV ?? 'development'),
});

That's it

Rasputin is ready to capture errors from your app. The runtime recorder is optional and adds richer context to failures.
