Introduction
Humanlog is the observability platform that puts developers first. Install it on your laptop and instantly get a complete suite for exploring logs and distributed traces—no cloud, no extra services, no waiting for production deployments.
What Is Humanlog?
Humanlog brings production-grade observability right into your development loop. Whether you're chasing down a tricky bug in local Docker containers or validating your OpenTelemetry spans before deployment, Humanlog gives you:
- Full insight into logs and traces
- Ultra-fast iteration on your own machine
- Privacy your data never leaves your machine
Why Local-first Matters
Iteration speed is everything. Waiting 30 minutes to deploy, reproduce, and inspect is a blocker; Humanlog's localhost engine lets you:
See, tweak, and re-run your queries in seconds—so you can catch logging anomalies, span-naming inconsistencies, or missing trace coverage before you ever merge.
Key Benefits
-
Speed Leverage your laptop's CPU, disk, and memory for sub-second querying.
-
Privacy No third-party services, no data exfiltration. Your logs and traces stay local.
-
Developer-first Workflow A platform that works in your developer environment.
