Datadog Python APM Client

ddtrace is Datadog’s Python APM client. It is used to profile code and trace requests as they flow across web servers, databases and microservices. This enables developers to have greater visibility into bottlenecks and troublesome requests in their application.

Getting Started

For a basic product overview: check out the setup documentation.

For details about developing and contributing: refer to the development guide.
