Resolve production issues in minutes, not months

Subtrace is Wireshark for containers. It lets developers resolve production issues faster making it easy to track all backend requests coming in and going out of their backend server.

Subtrace: Resolve production issues in minutes, not months
See original launch post ›

Hey, this is Adhityaa and Sachin đź‘‹

We built Subtrace to give backend teams full visibility into every request—payload, latency, status, headers, logs—all in one place. YC companies like Trieve (W24) are already using Subtrace in production to improve their incident resolution time from months to minutes (read their case study).


Problem

Today's backend monitoring tools like Sentry and OpenTelemetry leave out the most crucial details of each request, forcing backend developers to search through logs to root cause issues.


Solution

Subtrace brings every backend request into one clear, Chrome DevTools-like interface so that you can resolve issues fast—often before your first coffee. Here's how it works:


🔍 Search & Filter

Quickly search for the requests that matter using simple filters


🔦 Inspect & Analyze

Click any request to view full details like payload, headers, latency


🎥 Record & Replay

Reproduce issues easily by replaying prod requests elsewhere


đź’¬ Share & Collaborate

Share detailed snippets with your team to solve issues together


You can get Subtrace working with just a single command.

Team

We met 10+ years ago as undergrads and we've been great friends ever since. Adhityaa went to IIT Madras, the University of Waterloo and worked at Google. Sachin went to IIT Madras and worked at Microsoft.


Ask

Are you a backend / full stack developer? Do you run an engineering team?

YC companies are already using Subtrace today, we think you'll love it.
