Fastrace is a high-performance timeline tracing library for Rust, claiming to be 10-100x faster than other tracing libraries. It supports library-level instrumentation with zero overhead when disabled and is compatible with OpenTelemetry.

Use cases

  • instrument Rust functions with spans for performance tracing
  • add tracing to a Rust library with zero overhead when disabled
  • collect and report span records in a Rust application
  • migrate from tokio tracing to a faster alternative
  • export traces via OpenTelemetry
  • trace short tasks with root spans and hierarchical children

When to avoid

  • you need the broad ecosystem and integrations of the tokio tracing crate
  • you need structured logging as the primary concern rather than span-based tracing
  • your project is not written in Rust
