Django Observability with TraceKit
Django makes development fast -- but the ORM can silently generate hundreds of queries per page. TraceKit shows you every N+1 query, traces Celery tasks end-to-end, and pinpoints which templates are slowing down your views.
Why Django Needs Better Observability
Common debugging challenges that traditional monitoring tools miss.
N+1 Query Detection
Django's ORM makes it easy to accidentally trigger hundreds of queries in a loop. A single template tag can cause N+1 issues that are invisible without tracing. TraceKit highlights every database query in the trace so N+1 patterns are immediately obvious.
Celery Task Queue Tracing
Celery tasks run asynchronously across workers, making it hard to trace a request from the Django view through the task queue and back. TraceKit propagates trace context into Celery so the full flow appears in one trace.
Template Rendering Bottlenecks
Django template rendering can be slow with complex context data or nested includes. TraceKit instruments template rendering so you can see exactly which template and which context variable is causing latency.
Get Started in Minutes
Add TraceKit to your Django project with a few lines of code.
# settings.py
MIDDLEWARE = [
'opentelemetry.instrumentation.django.middleware.otel_middleware',
# ... your other middleware
]
# manage.py or wsgi.py
from opentelemetry.instrumentation.django import DjangoInstrumentor

Everything you need to monitor Django in production.
Distributed Tracing
Trace requests from Django views through ORM queries, Celery tasks, and external API calls. See the complete request lifecycle including template rendering.
Live Code Monitoring
Set breakpoints in your Django views and models. Inspect QuerySets, context data, and request state in production without adding print statements.
