Encore captures distributed traces, structured logs, and runtime metrics automatically from every api(), database query, Pub/Sub publish, cron tick, and outbound HTTP call.

In production, traces and metrics ship to Encore Cloud (20M events/month included on Pro) or forward to Datadog, Grafana, Sentry, and other third-party backends.
