What it is

Langfuse captures LLM application traces, links them to evaluation scores and dashboards covering latency/cost/quality. Self-hostable core (MIT) plus managed cloud makes it popular where data control matters.

Editorial basis: vendor documentation and public information reviewed by our editors; written originally for this catalog. Hands-on testing has not yet been performed. Last editorial update 2026-08-26.
