API Operations Platform

Your whole API, on one control plane.

Nitro brings observability, tracing, schema governance, client safety, and rollout checks together, so teams can understand what is running and ship changes with confidence.

See exactly how your API behaves in production.

OpenTelemetry-native monitoring: latency, throughput, and error rate per operation and per client, ranked by the impact score that tells you what to fix first.

03Trace

Follow one request across your whole backend.

Distributed tracing stitches a single operation across GraphQL, REST, gRPC, and background jobs. Walk the span waterfall down to the resolver that ran slow.

04Diagnose

Move from symptoms to cause.

Start with an error spike, open the affected operation, inspect the trace, and find the failing stack frame without digging through disconnected logs.

05Compose

Understand how your operations are executed.

Inspect distributed execution plans, see how work is split across services, and understand how one request becomes one response.

06Schema Governance

Know the impact before you merge.

Nitro compares schema changes with published clients and gives teams a clear signal on what is safe, risky, or breaking.

1 safe · 1 dangerous · 1 breaking
07Delivery

Ship with confidence.

Nitro turns release readiness into visible checks: schema validation, client compatibility, trusted operations, and rollout status.

CI schema checkFAILED
schema validate127 fields
client checks3 published clients
breaking changeOrder.total removed
trusted operations482 hashes signed
merging is blocked until every check passes
Persisted operations

Only registered query hashes execute. Ad-hoc queries and injection never reach a resolver.

08Workspace

Give teams a shared workspace.

Explore schemas, run operations, validate documents, and keep important API work connected to the rest of Nitro.

Ready when you are

Put your API on one control plane.

Start with production visibility, then add tracing, schema governance, client safety, and release checks as your team grows.
