logfire 1.3.0

The best Python observability tool! 🪵🔥

Pydantic Logfire — Uncomplicated Observability

From the team behind Pydantic, Logfire is an observability platform built on the same belief as our open source library — that the most powerful tools can be easy to use.

What sets Logfire apart:

• Simple and Powerful: Logfire's dashboard is simple relative to the power it provides, ensuring your entire engineering team will actually use it.
• Python-centric Insights: From rich display of Python objects, to event-loop telemetry, to profiling Python code and database queries, Logfire gives you unparalleled visibility into your Python application's behavior.
• SQL: Query your data using standard SQL — all the control and (for many) nothing new to learn. Using SQL also means you can query your data with existing BI tools and database querying libraries.
• OpenTelemetry: Logfire is an opinionated wrapper around OpenTelemetry, allowing you to leverage existing tooling, infrastructure, and instrumentation for many common Python packages, and enabling support for virtually any language.
• Pydantic Integration: Understand the data flowing through your Pydantic models and get built-in analytics on validations.

See the documentation for more information.

This repo contains the Python SDK for logfire and documentation; the server application for recording and displaying data is closed source.

Using Logfire

This is a very brief overview of how to use Logfire, the documentation has much more detail.

Manual tracing

Here's a simple manual tracing (aka logging) example:

import logfire
from datetime import date

logfire.info('Hello, {name}!', name='world')

with logfire.span('Asking the user their {question}', question='age'):
    user_input = input('How old are you [YYYY-mm-dd]? ')
    dob = date.fromisoformat(user_input)
    logfire.debug('{dob=} {age=!r}', dob=dob, age=date.today() - dob)

Integration

Or you can also avoid manual instrumentation and instead integrate with lots of popular packages, here's an example of integrating with FastAPI:

import logfire
from pydantic import BaseModel
from fastapi import FastAPI

app = FastAPI()

logfire.configure()
logfire.instrument_fastapi(app)
# next, instrument your database connector, http library etc. and add the logging handler

class User(BaseModel):
    name: str
    country_code: str

@app.post('/')
async def add_user(user: User):
    # we would store the user here
    return {'message': f'{user.name} added'}
