🚀 What is Falken Trace?

Falken Trace extends OpenTelemetry and Datadog for Python by pinpointing file names, function names, and line numbers that generate spans. It addresses gaps in default observability implementations, making tracing faster and more actionable.

Default OpenTelemetry tracing for Python lacks this granularity, which we uncovered while building our contextual code review platform at baz.co.

With Falken Trace, troubleshooting becomes faster, more precise, and far more effective, giving you a crystal-clear view of codebase flows.

Install

pip install falken-trace  # install via pip
poetry add falken-trace   # install via poetry
uv add falken-trace       # install via uv

Usage

Add the falken_trace import at the beginning of the application entrypoint file

import falken_trace  # noqa

from ddtrace import patch_all
