About Tracekit
Last Updated: November 8, 2025
Our Mission
At Tracekit, we believe debugging production issues should not feel like searching for a needle in a haystack. We are on a mission to make production debugging 10x faster for development teams worldwide.
“Every minute spent debugging is a minute not spent shipping features. We are here to give you those minutes back.”
The Problem We Are Solving
Modern applications are complex distributed systems with dozens of services, dependencies, and moving parts. When something breaks in production:
- Finding the root cause is hard: Logs are scattered across services
- Time pressure is intense: Every minute of downtime costs money and trust
- Context is missing: What happened before the error? What caused it?
- Tools are expensive: Enterprise APM solutions cost $50K-$250K/year
We built Tracekit to solve these exact problems.
Our Solution
Automatic Distributed Tracing
Zero-config instrumentation for PHP, Node.js, Go, Python, Java, and Ruby. Add one line of code and start tracing.
Instant Context
See the complete request flow across all services in milliseconds. No more jumping between logs.
AI-Powered Insights
Our intelligent trace analysis identifies patterns, anomalies, and root causes automatically.
Predictable Pricing
Free plan to get started. Paid plans from $29/month. No surprises, no hidden fees.
Our Story
Tracekit was born out of frustration.
After spending countless hours debugging production issues at scale, our founding team realized there had to be a better way. Existing APM tools were either too expensive for startups or too complicated for small teams.
We asked ourselves:
- What if distributed tracing could be automatic instead of manual?
- What if it could be affordable instead of enterprise-priced?
- What if setup took 5 minutes instead of 5 weeks?
So we built Tracekit -- the distributed tracing platform we wished we had.
Key Milestones
- 2025: Tracekit founded
- November 2025: Public launch
- Future: Making production debugging effortless for everyone
Our Values
Developer-First
We build tools developers actually want to use. No enterprise bloat, no endless configuration, just tools that work.
Speed Matters
Every feature, every decision is optimized for speed. Your time is valuable and we respect that.
Simplicity Over Complexity
Distributed tracing is complex. Our product should not be. We hide complexity behind intuitive interfaces.
Fair Pricing
Great tools should not cost six figures. We price for startups, scale-ups, and enterprises alike.
Trust Through Transparency
We are transparent about pricing, data handling, and how our product works. No hidden agendas.
Our Team
Tracekit is built by a small, passionate team of engineers who have felt the pain of production debugging firsthand. We have worked at companies ranging from early-stage startups to FAANG companies, and we have brought those experiences into building Tracekit.
What We Believe
- Ship Fast: Move quickly, iterate, improve continuously
- Customer Obsessed:Every decision starts with “does this help developers?”
- Learn in Public: Share knowledge, write docs, help the community
- Craft Matters: Sweat the details, polish the experience
- Remote-First: Work from anywhere, async by default
