Cloudflare has introduced an Open Beta for tracing on its Workers platform, aimed at enhancing application visibility and performance diagnostics without requiring manual setup or code changes. This automatic instrumentation captures OpenTelemetry-compliant spans, providing detailed metadata and timing information for every operation performed by a Worker, thus helping developers identify performance bottlenecks and resolve errors. The tracing feature, available in the Cloudflare dashboard, allows developers to view traces, query across Workers, and export data to OpenTelemetry-compatible providers for integration with existing observability stacks. Cloudflare plans to expand this feature by adding more automatic traces, custom spans, and the ability to export metrics to third-party providers, with pricing set to begin on January 15, 2026, for both viewing and exporting traces.
