Resolve production issues faster

Subtrace lets developers resolve production issues faster. Unlike Sentry and other backend monitoring tools, Subtrace makes it easy to search for the requests that truly matter during an incident.

Top comment

Hey Product Hunters!

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 [email protected].

Comment highlights

@adhityaa_chandrasekar Subtrace looks like a much-needed solution for faster API debugging—being able to see full request details in a Chrome DevTools-style interface sounds like a huge time-saver compared to digging through logs. how does it handle high-traffic services? Does it sample requests or log everything without impacting performance?

Congratulations on the launch @sachin9996 and @adhityaa_chandrasekar, it's a game-changer for backend development!

Nothing scarier than a bug in prod. Any tool that can help solve those scary problems fast and without disrupting customer/user experience is a great tool in my opinion. Will be looking into this more in depth this weekend and see if integrating into my tech stack is possible. Great job by the team and good luck with launch!

As a developer who's spent countless hours debugging production issues, Subtrace feels like a Valentine's Day gift to the dev community! 🎁 The ability to quickly search for relevant requests during incidents is absolutely game-changing - no more drowning in a sea of logs trying to find that one crucial request!

What really excites me is how it differentiates itself from Sentry and other monitoring tools. We all know that moment of panic when production breaks, and every second counts. Having a tool that cuts through the noise and connects directly with Chrome DevTools? That's exactly what we need in those high-pressure moments.

The fact that it comes with free options and is open source makes it even better - democratizing access to powerful debugging tools is how we build a stronger dev community. Major props to Sachin and Adhityaa for understanding the real pain points in production debugging.

This could be a real lifesaver for teams of all sizes. No more war room sessions trying to piece together what went wrong! Time saved during incidents = happier developers and customers. Can't wait to integrate this into our workflow! 🚀

Just checked out Subtrace and I’m seriously impressed. 🚀

As a developer, I’ve spent way too much time digging through endless logs trying to find the root cause of issues. It’s frustrating and time - consuming. But Subtrace seems like a total game - changer.

The Chrome DevTools - like interface is brilliant. It’s intuitive and makes it super easy to find the details that matter during incidents. Being able to see every request in full detail without wading through millions of log lines? That’s a dream come true.

I love that it’s easy to integrate and works with any language or framework. One command to set up? That’s unheard of!

Already signed up and can’t wait to see how much time this will save my team. Great job, Subtrace team! 🙌

P.S. Keep up the amazing work and let’s make debugging way less painful!

All the best for the launch @sachin9996 & team!
