Overview
Langfuse provides open-source observability and analytics for Language Learning Machine (LLM) applications. It helps teams trace and debug complex LLM workflows by recording production traces that show every step in an LLM chain, including unlimited nested actions, exact costs, and token-level details for prompts and completions. It also tracks non-LLM actions like database queries and API calls to give a full view of an application's performance. The platform offers prebuilt analytics focused on token usage, cost, latency, and trace scores, all linked to traces to help identify root causes quickly. Langfuse integrates with popular frameworks and libraries and offers a public API and typed SDKs for Python and JS/TS so teams can build custom dashboards and features. Its goal is to make it easier to observe, cost, and optimize LLM-powered applications by providing clear visibility and actionable insights.
