ASP.NET Core Observability with TraceKit
ASP.NET Core's pipeline is fast and flexible -- but when a request hits 12 middleware components and an Entity Framework query, pinpointing the slow part requires more than logging. TraceKit gives you full pipeline visibility.
Why ASP.NET Core Needs Better Observability
Common debugging challenges that traditional monitoring tools miss.
Middleware Pipeline Tracing
ASP.NET Core's middleware pipeline can include authentication, authorization, CORS, response compression, and custom middleware. TraceKit traces every step so you can see which middleware adds latency to each request.
Entity Framework Query Monitoring
Entity Framework makes database access convenient but can generate inefficient queries under the hood. TraceKit captures every EF query with its execution time, so you can spot slow queries and N+1 patterns.
Background Service Visibility
IHostedService and BackgroundService run outside the request pipeline, making them invisible to request-scoped monitoring. TraceKit traces background services independently so you have visibility into scheduled tasks and queue processors.
Get Started in Minutes
Add TraceKit to your ASP.NET Core project with a few lines of code.
// Program.cs
builder.Services.AddOpenTelemetry()
.WithTracing(tracing => tracing
.AddAspNetCoreInstrumentation()
.AddEntityFrameworkCoreInstrumentation()
.AddOtlpExporter());What You Get with TraceKit
Everything you need to monitor ASP.NET Core in production.
Distributed Tracing
Trace requests through the ASP.NET Core pipeline, Entity Framework queries, HttpClient calls, and gRPC services. Full .NET observability in one SDK.
Live Code Monitoring
Set breakpoints in your controllers and services. Inspect model state, DbContext queries, and dependency injection scopes in production without redeploying.
Simple Pricing
$29/month flat for your entire .NET application. No per-instance fees, no per-AppService charges -- one price for full observability.
