Uptrace

About Uptrace

Uptrace helps developers inspect traces, metrics and logs collected through OpenTelemetry. Add instrumentation to a small service and inspect a request end to end, including the time spent on any downstream work you instrument. The tool is useful when a team needs to distinguish an application bottleneck from a slow dependency. A trace view only reflects the data applications and collectors send, so gaps in instrumentation still matter. Check language examples and retention settings before rolling it out widely. If you self-host, include the operational work of the storage backend and collectors when comparing it with a managed option.
