Langfuse usesGitHub Discussions for Support and Feature Requests.
We're hiring.Join us in product engineering and technical go-to-market roles.
Langfuse is anopen source LLM engineering platform. It helps teams collaborativelydevelop, monitor, evaluate, anddebug AI applications. Langfuse can beself-hosted in minutes and isbattle-tested.

LLM Application Observability: Instrument your app and start ingesting traces to Langfuse, thereby tracking LLM calls and other relevant logic in your app such as retrieval, embedding, or agent actions. Inspect and debug complex logs and user sessions. Try the interactivedemo to see this in action.
Prompt Management helps you centrally manage, version control, and collaboratively iterate on your prompts. Thanks to strong caching on server and client side, you can iterate on prompts without adding latency to your application.
Evaluations are key to the LLM application development workflow, and Langfuse adapts to your needs. It supports LLM-as-a-judge, user feedback collection, manual labeling, and custom evaluation pipelines via APIs/SDKs.
Datasets enable test sets and benchmarks for evaluating your LLM application. They support continuous improvement, pre-deployment testing, structured experiments, flexible evaluation, and seamless integration with frameworks like LangChain and LlamaIndex.
LLM Playground is a tool for testing and iterating on your prompts and model configurations, shortening the feedback loop and accelerating development. When you see a bad result in tracing, you can directly jump to the playground to iterate on it.
Comprehensive API: Langfuse is frequently used to power bespoke LLMOps workflows while using the building blocks provided by Langfuse via the API. OpenAPI spec, Postman collection, and typed SDKs for Python, JS/TS are available.

Managed deployment by the Langfuse team, generous free-tier, no credit card required.
Run Langfuse on your own infrastructure:
Local (docker compose): Run Langfuse on your own machine in 5 minutes using Docker Compose.
# Get a copy of the latest Langfuse repositorygit clone https://github.com/langfuse/langfuse.gitcd langfuse# Run the langfuse docker composedocker compose up
VM: Run Langfuse on a single Virtual Machine using Docker Compose.
Kubernetes (Helm): Run Langfuse on a Kubernetes cluster using Helm. This is the preferred production deployment.

Instrument your app and start ingesting traces to Langfuse, thereby tracking LLM calls and other relevant logic in your app such as retrieval, embedding, or agent actions. Inspect and debug complex logs and user sessions.
- Create Langfuse account orself-host
- Create a new project
- Create new API credentials in the project settings
The@observe() decorator makes it easy to trace any Python LLM application. In this quickstart we also use the LangfuseOpenAI integration to automatically capture all model parameters.

By default, Langfuse automatically reports basic usage statistics of self-hosted instances to a centralized server (PostHog).
This helps us to:
- Understand how Langfuse is used and improve the most relevant features.
- Track overall usage for internal and external (e.g. fundraising) reporting.
None of the data is shared with third parties and does not include any sensitive information. We want to be super transparent about this and you can find the exact data we collecthere.
