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 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!
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?
@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.
All the best for the launch @sachin9996 & team!
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!
@spatecon It's something we plan on adding!
Love the concept!
Love the concept and absolutely loved the video!
Congratulations on the launch @sachin9996 and @adhityaa_chandrasekar, it's a game-changer for backend development!
