What is Pydantic Logfire?
One trace across model calls, agents, APIs and database queries.
Who is Pydantic Logfire best for?
Pydantic Logfire is best for developers running AI apps in production who want every step in one trace.
Teams building AI agents
Each agent run is traced from prompt to tool calls, with data from Pydantic AI, LangChain, the OpenAI SDK or any OpenTelemetry setup.
Debugging whole requests
The model call, the API hop and the database query sit in one trace, so a slow vector search shows up next to the LLM call it delayed.
Engineers who think in SQL
Every span can be queried with Postgres-style SQL, including joins and JSON operators, in the app or from a coding agent over MCP.
Checking prompt and model changes
Evals are stored on the traces they score and billed as ordinary records, so comparing runs adds no per-score fee.
