Stackify

Full Lifecycle Application Performance Monitoring

Visit Stackify

Stackify is a SaaS observability platform for developers and DevOps teams, combining application performance monitoring, error tracking, code profiling and centralized logging to help diagnose production issues and inspect what code is doing. Its product line includes Retrace, a full-lifecycle APM, and Prefix, a real-time code profiler.

Retrace integrates APM with error tracking, transaction tracing and a log viewer, covering web services, SOAP and REST APIs, external HTTP calls, deployment tracking and structured logging. Prefix provides code-level feedback during development, surfacing slow SQL queries and hidden exceptions. Integrations span .NET, Java, PHP, Node.js, Ruby and Python, along with Kubernetes, Azure and AWS.

Stackify is aimed at engineering and DevOps teams. A free trial is offered, and Retreach is scheduled to reach End of Life on March 31, 2027, after which the SaaS service will no longer be accessible; BMC Helix recommends considering a transition to Helix AIOps with OpenTelemetry.
