Quick Start
# or
npx sigtrace run npm run dev # Vue / SolidJS

Open Source and Community-Driven
-
SigTrace is licensed under the MIT License and is free to use, modify, and distribute. We believe that developer experience should not be locked behind proprietary paywalls. The core adapters for Angular, Vue, and SolidJS are all open-source, and we are planning Svelte and React support next.
+
Free for Developers & Enterprise
+
SigTrace is licensed under the Elastic License 2.0 (ELv2) and is completely free for all developers, teams, and organizations to use and modify in development and production workflows. The only restriction is that third parties cannot provide SigTrace as a managed commercial service or sell competing derivative tools built directly from this repository. The core adapters for Angular, Vue, and SolidJS are all available, and we are planning Svelte and React support next.
