auto-api-observe is a Node.js middleware that provides drop-in API observability, including request tracing, database profiling, outbound HTTP tracking, and distributed traces, with results sent to a free cloud dashboard. It supports many frameworks and databases, and emphasizes zero-config setup and sensitive-field masking, making it a convenient alternative to heavyweight APM tools.
