Overview

Why consider Breakpad?

Breakpad is an open-source multi-platform crash reporting system written in C++ by Google. It produces standard minidumps when native Windows, macOS, or Linux C++ applications crash, uploading them to self-hosted collector backends for symbolicated stack trace analysis.
