We're excited to introduce Subtrace, an API observability platform that lets you see every backend request in full detail.
🫠 The problem
Today's backend monitoring tools like Sentry and OpenTelemetry often leave out the most crucial details of API requests (e.g. the payload, headers, status code, and latency). This forces developers to search through millions of log lines to root cause issues, turning even minor incidents into prolonged outages.
✨ How Subtrace helps
Subtrace solves this problem by showing every request in a clear, Chrome DevTools-like interface that makes it easy to search for what truly matters during incidents. Engineering teams are already using Subtrace and have already improved their incident resolution time from months to minutes.
🚀 How you can get started
Sign up at https://subtrace.dev to get started for free! Subtrace supports all languages and frameworks, and only takes one command to get set up.
If you have any questions or feedback, we'd love to hear about it! Reach out to us at founders@subtrace.dev.
@sachin9996 I can't believe it's 2025 and I still have this problem, but it's so typical to go check an issue on Sentry and miss the critical traces. I'm definitely trying this!
@kevinyun You could use Subtrace alongside Datadog! Subtrace gives you detailed information about your individual backend requests in real time, which is important when debugging issues in production. It's also really easy to setup for local development. Datadog might give you a higher level overview of things in terms of metrics and aggregates.

Congrats on the launch and good luck! 👏

@manuhortet That's awesome, we'd love for you to try it out and let us know what you think!

@sachin9996 Looks interesting. Is this a DataDog replacement, or bit different?

Love the concept!
All the best for the launch @sachin9996 & team!
