Common questions

What to ask before you decide

Is Langfuse open source?

Yes. Langfuse documents open-source self-hosting and a managed cloud service.

Does Langfuse accept OpenTelemetry traces?

Yes. Langfuse documents an OTLP endpoint and OpenTelemetry-based SDKs.

Can Langfuse evaluate production traces?

Yes. Code and model evaluators can attach scores to matching production observations.

Are production code evaluations inline?

No. The reviewed code-evaluator documentation says matching observations enter an asynchronous queue.

Can Langfuse manage prompt versions?

Yes. Langfuse uses versions and labels for deployment, testing and rollback.

What should we test first?

Correlate one blocked request with its trace, evaluation score, prompt version and retained record.

Confirm the plan, region, version and contract terms before a production decision.
A not documented status means the reviewed sources did not establish the feature. It does not mean the feature is absent.
Confirm the Langfuse plan for retention, masking, roles and production evaluators.
Measure evaluation delay before using scores in an operational response.
Keep inline gateway action separate from asynchronous quality scoring.
