One platform, full stack visibility

Everything your platform team stares at, unified.

Distributed tracing

Follow a single request across dozens of services with waterfall views, flame graphs, and automatic span correlation.

Metrics that query

High-cardinality metrics with sub-second aggregation. No pre-defined dashboards required — just ask.

Anomaly alerts

Baseline-aware detection surfaces p99 spikes, error-rate drifts, and saturation before your users notice.

Log context, inline

Jump from a slow span straight to the exact log lines that explain it — no tab hopping, no grep spelunking.

OpenTelemetry native

Drop-in OTLP ingestion. Point your existing collectors at Tracelight and see data flowing in minutes.

Cost transparency

Per-service ingest budgets and sampling controls keep your observability bill predictable at any scale.

Neon-lit server room aisle with rows of network equipment

Built for the volume your infrastructure actually produces.

Columnar storage, adaptive sampling, and a query engine designed for engineers who don't have time to wait for a dashboard to load.

Query language, not click language

Ask in plain TraceQL. Get answers in milliseconds.

Stop building brittle dashboards. Write a query, save it as a monitor, share it as a link. Your whole team speaks the same observability language.

What engineers say

Loved by platform teams.

“We cut mean-time-to-resolution from 47 minutes to under 6. Tracelight is the first tab our on-call engineers open.”

Priya N. · Staff SRE, fintech platform

“Setup took fifteen minutes and we had real traces flowing before our next standup. No SDK gymnastics required.”

Devon R. · Head of Platform, logistics SaaS

“TraceQL replaced eleven brittle dashboards. Now every on-call engineer just writes the query they actually need.”

Sofia M. · Principal Engineer, payments infra

“We cut mean-time-to-resolution from 47 minutes to under 6. Tracelight is the first tab our on-call engineers open and the last one they close.”
