Hypertrace is a cloud-native distributed tracing based Observability platform that gives visibility into your dev and production distributed systems.
Hypertrace was originally developed by Traceable as a highly scalable distributed tracing platform and it is used by Traceable’s cloud-native application security platform. Realizing that Hypertrace was a powerful standalone tracing and observability platform, Traceable created this open source project for the software development community to use in their applications.
If you want to see Hypertrace in action, you can quickly start Hypertrace.
- docker-engine (17.12.0+)
- docker-compose (1.21.0 +)
- We recommend you change the Docker Desktop default settings from
2 GB
of memory to4 GB
of memory, and set CPUs to at least 4 CPUs.Note
: When reporting problems, please include the output ofdocker stats --no-stream
.
git clone https://github.com/hypertrace/hypertrace.git
cd hypertrace/docker
docker-compose pull
docker-compose up --force-recreate
This will start all services required for Hypertrace. Once you see the service Hypertrace-UI
start, you can visit the UI at http://localhost:2020.
If your application is already instrumented to send traces to Zipkin or Jaeger, it will work with Hypertrace.
If not, you can try Hypertrace with our sample application by running
docker-compose -f docker-compose-zipkin-example.yml up
the sample app will run at http://localhost:8081. You should request the URL a few times to generate some sample trace requests!
We support helm charts to simplify deploying Hypertrace in Kubernetes environment, maybe on your on-premise server or cloud instance!
Please refer to the deployments section in our documentation which lists the steps to deploy Hypertrace on different Kubernetes flavors across different operating systems and cloud providers. You can find the Helm Charts and installation scripts with more details here.
Note:
We have created hypertrace-ingester
and hypertrace-service
to simplify local deployment and quick-start with Hypertrace. As of now, we don't support them for production because of some limitations and some unreliabiliy with scaling. So, we will encourage you to deploy individual components for staging as well as production deployments.

Released versions of Docker images for various Hypertrace components are available on dockerhub.
Hypertrace follows the open core model where "Hypertrace core" (or simply Core) is made available under the Apache 2.0 license, which has distributed trace ingestion and exploration features. The Services, Endpoints, Backends and Service Graph features of Hypertrace Community Edition are made available under the Traceable Community license.
