How AI is used

Logfire is an observability platform designed for AI applications. It provides unified traces that combine LLM interactions, AI agent reasoning, API requests, and database queries, rather than tracking only LLM request and response data.

It supports polyglot architectures with SDKs for Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, and Rust, and is compatible with any OpenTelemetry-supported language.

Capabilities include real time LLM cost tracking to help identify expensive prompts and an integrated evaluation framework via Pydantic Evals to benchmark model outputs. Users can also query trace data using standard SQL.

For organizations with specific governance needs, the platform offers SOC2 Type II, HIPAA, and GDPR compliance, as well as self-hosting options for enterprise users.

Key Features

  • Unified AI Traces

    Combines LLM calls, agent reasoning, database queries, and API requests into a single end-to-end timeline.

  • Real Time LLM Cost Tracking

    Tracks LLM API spending in real time to help identify expensive prompts and optimize model selection.

  • OpenTelemetry Integration

    Built on OpenTelemetry standards, supporting any OTel-compatible language and framework.

  • Pydantic Evals Framework

    Provides an integrated framework to evaluate LLM outputs in production.

  • SQL Data Querying

    Allows users to query traces using Postgres-flavored SQL and NLP-generated queries.

  • Enterprise Compliance

    Supports SOC2 Type II certification, HIPAA compliance, and GDPR compliance with an EU data region option.

Use Cases

  • Full-Stack AI Monitoring
