Langfuse
Summary
Langfuse is an open-source AI engineering platform for teams debugging, analyzing, and iterating on AI agent applications. Its tracing records prompts, model responses, token usage, latency, tool calls, retrieval steps, and metadata. Prompt Management stores, versions, deploys, and tests prompts, linking them to traces. Evaluation tools include LLM-as-a-judge, code evaluators, user feedback, manual labeling, datasets, and experiments. Integrations include Python and JS/TS SDKs, OpenTelemetry, an API, CLI, MCP Server, and popular AI frameworks. Teams can self-host the MIT-licensed core on their infrastructure using Docker, with options including Docker Compose, Kubernetes, AWS, and Azure. Langfuse reports annual SOC 2 Type 2 and ISO 27001 audits, external penetration tests, GDPR compliance, a DPA, and a HIPAA-ready region. Cloud traffic uses TLS 1.2+ and stored data uses AES-256 encryption. The free Hobby plan includes 50k units per month, 30 days of data access, and two users. Core costs $29 per month, billed monthly.
