Top comment

After spending years debugging distributed systems across microservices, queues, APIs, and cloud platforms, I kept running into the same problem: We have logs. We have metrics. We have traces. We have error tracking. But we still struggle to answer a simple question: “What actually happened?” Most observability tools treat these as separate concerns: Metrics live in one system Logs in another Errors somewhere else Audit trails are usually an afterthought So I started building something different.

Comment highlights

Turn interactions into business assets.

Modern systems generate millions of interactions every day:

  • payments

  • API calls

  • workflow steps

  • user actions

  • service-to-service events

But when something goes wrong, the story is fragmented across logs, dashboards, traces, Slack threads, and databases.

I've built Provenance to change that.

Provenance turns distributed system activity into structured, linked interaction trees — so you can see:

  • what happened

  • why it happened

  • what it caused

  • and react automatically when it does

What makes Provenance different?

Instead of isolated logs or metrics, Provenance builds a causal chain of interactions across your systems.

Example:

Order created → payment captured → inventory reserved → shipped → delivery failed → customer notified → retry scheduled

Every step linked. Fully searchable. Queryable by humans and AI agents.

Built for developers

  • SDKs for Node.js, TypeScript, Python, and Java

  • OpenTelemetry compatible

  • Auto-instrumentation support

  • CLI + API

  • Works alongside existing observability tooling

Built for operations & business teams

  • Causal event trees

  • Error tracking linked to workflows

  • Dashboards and subscriptions

  • Slack/webhook/email/Lambda reactions

  • AI/MCP-ready structured history

We’re currently in closed beta and would love feedback from developers, platform teams, and anyone building distributed systems.

Who hunted Provenance?

Provenance was hunted by STDIO Labs. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
