Developer-first visual backend devtools for Django, Flask, and FastAPI

TraceGarden

Developer-first visual backend devtools for Django, Flask, and FastAPI.

TraceGarden captures request timelines (DB + HTTP + spans + Celery) into local SQLite and serves a built-in UI at /__tracegarden.

Features

• WSGI + ASGI support (Django, Flask, FastAPI)
• OTel-native span ingestion into local TraceGarden UI
• DB query fingerprinting, grouping, duplicate and N+1 detection
• Outgoing HTTP inspector (requests / httpx)
• Celery stitching (web request -> queued task -> worker state)
• Trace bundle export (single JSON artifact)
• Development guardrails: redaction by default + UI token protection

Installation

pip install tracegarden
# extras
pip install tracegarden[django]
pip install tracegarden[flask]
pip install tracegarden[fastapi]
pip install tracegarden[celery]

Quick Start

Django (one app + one middleware)

# settings.py
INSTALLED_APPS = [
    ...,
    "tracegarden.integrations.django",
]

MIDDLEWARE = [
    "tracegarden.integrations.django.middleware.TraceGardenMiddleware",
    ...,
]

TRACEGARDEN = {
    "enabled": True,
    "ui_token": "dev-secret",
    "ui_token_header": "X-TraceGarden-Token",
    "ui_prefix": "/__tracegarden",
}

# urls.py
from tracegarden.ui.routes import mount_django_urls
urlpatterns = mount_django_urls() + urlpatterns

Flask (init extension)

from flask import Flask
from tracegarden import TraceGarden

app = Flask(__name__)
TraceGarden(app, ui_token="dev-secret")

FastAPI (one middleware)

from fastapi import FastAPI
from tracegarden import TraceGardenConfig
from tracegarden.core.storage import TraceStorage
from tracegarden.integrations.fastapi.middleware import TraceGardenMiddleware
from tracegarden.ui.routes import mount_fastapi_router

app = FastAPI()
config = TraceGardenConfig(ui_token="dev-secret")
storage = TraceStorage(db_path=config.db_path)
app.add_middleware(TraceGardenMiddleware, config=config, storage=storage)
mount_fastapi_router(app, config=config, storage=storage)

UI Access

Default route: /__tracegarden/

Pass token using one of:

• header: X-TraceGarden-Token: dev-secret
• query param: ?token=dev-secret
• cookie: tg_token=dev-secret

Screenshots

OpenTelemetry

from tracegarden.otel.setup import setup_otel
