“We can't tell what's working or where things are falling apart.”

It's a common story:

Analytical pipelines break. Logs rarely explain why.

Sure, you can keep guessing what went wrong…

Or you can use Tracer — the observability platform built for AI-driven science.

Globe visualization

See and Fix Anything. Instantly.

Tracer helps you effortlessly monitor tools, runs, and infrastructure with visual clarity and actionable diagnostics.

Predict and optimise compute requirements
01–03TRACER PERFORMANCE

Predict and optimise compute requirements

Forecast the exact running time and compute needs of your pipelines. Further optimise your underutilised instances and increase the usage of AI models in a cost-efficient manner.

Total visibility into computational infrastructure
02–03TRACER INTELLIGENCE

Total visibility into computational infrastructure

Gain real-time, highly granular insights into every workload and process, independent of coding language or framework, including highly parallelised processes across instances.

Fix issues instantly
03–03TRACER DEBUG

Fix issues instantly

Gain deep insights into the root causes of bugs across all analyses, recognise the error type, and solve instantly.

Total Visibility.
Powered by eBPF.

Tracer delivers unmatched visibility, speed, and accuracy for high-performance scientific computing — built from the ground up for the unique demands of research pipelines, not generic infrastructure.

FAQ

001

Do you run the pipelines for me?

We are not a workflow automation company and do not offer no-code solutions.

At Tracer, we believe that as scientific companies are increasingly adopting software to innovate, scientists are becoming software engineers. They want the flexibility to run their pipelines where they want and in their preferred configuration.

Tracer runs in the background as part of any pipeline you run, similar to observability for cloud engineering. We provide a dashboard to know what is happening in real time for monitoring and insights at all levels of the organisation.

002

What type of analyses or indications do you support?

We support any analysis running on Linux systems. Tracer recognises any computational biology framework or tool, written in bash, Python, or R. It supports the most common workflow management and schedulers, including Nextflow, AWS Batch, Slurm, and WDL.

003

Is my data secure?

Tracer is built on zero-trust principles. We use strong encryption and a secure infrastructure setup, following industry standards, including GDPR and HIPAA, to ensure full protection and transparency at every step.

All your data stays in your hands at all times. Unlike SaaS-based solutions, Tracer uses a ‘bring-your-own-cloud’ approach, where nothing gets exported ever.

004

How long does it take to set up Tracer?

The platform is launched by integrating one line of code.

005

How is Tracer different from other observability companies?

Tracer uses the latest technological advances to extract rich information directly from the operating system, offering unprecedented visibility into complex scientific pipelines.

006

Why do you need to go to the Operating System (OS) to collect the information about the pipelines?

The tools and frameworks packages used in scientific industries often provide non-descriptive logs, if they are there at all. These logs also do not adhere to OpenTelemetry standards, meaning any observability platform that extracts information from the application layer will not be helpful.

Tracer uniquely uses synthetic log generation, extracting information directly from the operating system and reformatting it to OpenTelemetry standards.
