Simple Python‑centric observability platform for faster development
Logfire provides a Python‑focused observability suite with easy‑to‑use dashboards, OpenTelemetry integration, SQL querying, and deep Pydantic validation insights, helping teams monitor code, traces, metrics, and logs.
Logfire is a Python‑centric observability suite designed to give developers immediate insight into application behavior. By combining a clean, interactive dashboard with rich telemetry—such as full Python object displays, event‑loop profiling, and database query tracing—it turns raw data into actionable information without steep learning curves.
The SDK wraps OpenTelemetry, offering automatic instrumentation for popular libraries (FastAPI, HTTP clients, DB drivers) while still supporting manual spans for custom workflows. Data can be explored using standard SQL, enabling teams to leverage existing BI tools or write ad‑hoc queries. Although the SDK is open source (MIT), the Logfire UI and backend are closed source and available via a hosted service or self‑hosted enterprise license. This model lets you export telemetry to any OpenTelemetry‑compatible backend while benefiting from Logfire’s specialized Python insights.
When teams consider Logfire, these hosted platforms usually appear on the same shortlist.
Looking for a hosted option? These are the services engineering teams benchmark against before choosing open source.
Debugging FastAPI request handling
View request payloads, validation errors, and database query timings in a unified dashboard.
Profiling background tasks
Identify event‑loop latency and function execution time to optimize asynchronous workers.
SQL‑driven alerting
Write SQL queries against telemetry data to trigger alerts using existing BI or monitoring tools.
Cross‑language trace correlation
Combine Python traces with services written in other languages via OpenTelemetry for end‑to‑end visibility.
Logfire is an observability platform focused on Python, offering dashboards, OpenTelemetry integration, and SQL querying to monitor code, traces, metrics, and logs.
Run `pip install logfire` and then configure it in your code with `logfire.configure()`.
The SDK is free and open source; the hosted UI and self‑hosted enterprise version require a subscription.
Yes, the SDK can export telemetry to any OpenTelemetry‑compatible backend.
The SDK is released under the MIT license.
