Pinpoint
An open-source APM tool for monitoring and tracing transactions in large-scale distributed Java, PHP, and Python applications.
What is Pinpoint?
Pinpoint is an open-source Application Performance Management tool that monitors and traces transactions across large-scale distributed systems. It helps developers and operations teams visualize application topology, identify performance bottlenecks, and gain code-level visibility into every transaction without modifying source code.
Engineering teams operating microservices architectures or distributed Java/PHP/Python applications who need production-grade observability and performance monitoring.
Pinpoint provides comprehensive distributed tracing with minimal performance impact (~3% overhead) and requires no code changes for instrumentation, making it a compelling open-source alternative to commercial APM solutions.
