Langtrace is an open-source observability tool that collects and analyze traces in order to help you improve your LLM apps. Langtrace has two components:

  • SDK: The SDK is a lightweight library that can be installed and imported into your project in order to collect traces. The traces are open telemetry based and can be exported to Langtrace or any other observability stack (Grafana, Datadog, Honeycomb etc) without having to use a Langtrace API key.

  • Langtrace Dashboard: The dashboard is a web-based interface where you can view and analyze your traces.

OpenTelemetry: The traces generated by Langtrace are based on the OpenTelemetry standard. This means that you can use Langtrace with your existing observability stack (No Langtrace API key required.), or export the traces to Langtrace.

Langtrace optimizes for the following 3 pillars of observability for your LLM apps:

  • Usage - Tokens and Cost
  • Accuracy
  • Performance - Latency and Success Rate

Setting up

The first step to using Langtrace is to import into your Typescript or Python project.

​
Step 1: Signup to Langtrace and generate an API key from the Langtrace dashboard.

  • Signup to Langtrace here

  • Go to the Langtrace dashboard

  • Create a new project, be sure to provide a name and description

  • Click on the Project name

  • Click on the Generate API Key button

  • Copy the generated API key. You will need this key to initialize the SDK in your project.

​
Step 2: Install the SDK on your project:

  • Python: Install the Langtrace SDK using pip
pip install langtrace-python-sdk
  • Typescript: Install the Langtrace SDK using npm
npm i @langtrase/typescript-sdk

​
Step 3: Initialize the SDK in your project:

​
Step 3: Run your application to view your traces on the Langtrace dashboard.

You can now view your traces on the Langtrace dashboard.

Pricing FAQs

​
What is a span?

A span represents a single unit of work or operation in your application. For LLM apps, this typically corresponds to an API call or a specific step in your language model pipeline.

​
How do I know which plan is right for me?

If you’re just getting started or want to self-host, our Self-Hosted option is perfect. For small teams or projects using our managed service, the Starter plan is ideal. As your usage grows, the Growth plan offers more flexibility and features. Large enterprises with specific needs should consider our Scale plan.
