Full-context distributed tracing
Get complete visibility into your system, whether you're migrating to microservices or have a complex, multi-cloud environment.
“I've been obsessed with Lightstep. It's been a fun product to use, not just a helpful one. I've never seen anything that you could drill in and find the root cause of a problem so quickly and so visually. That just absolutely blew my mind.”
Dave Lucia, VP of EngineeringWhat makes Lightstep’s distributed tracing different?
Easy to set up and use
No matter how complex your system.
Unlimited cardinality
Pinpoint exactly what causes issues across your stack.

Understand why performance issues occur.
More context
Automatically surface the relevant logs and metrics for incident resolution.
Complete system visibility
Give your team end-to-end visibility across your stack — any app, any service, any cloud. Move seamlessly from a high-level view of dependencies to specific services, operations, traces, or any other signals contributing to issues in production.
Interactive sandbox
Full context problem-solving
Find the cause for every effect, across any number of service boundaries. Lightstep surfaces root causes in seconds, providing the exact logs, metrics, and traces needed to simplify and solve even the most complex investigations.
