ECOSYSTEM.mdunder Observability + cost, following the three requirements in "Submit an entry".Disclosure: I work on OrcaReplay. Apache-2.0, free, no paid tier.
Why it belongs in that section rather than beside Langfuse
Everything already listed there needs the run to be instrumented — Langfuse via the OpenTelemetry collector path Part 20 covers, Phoenix as OTel-native, Helicone by sitting in front as a gateway. That works, and it gives you a view of the run.
OrcaReplay is the other half of that trade. It keeps the verbatim request and response bytes rather than spans, which costs disk and buys something the OTel path cannot give you: the recording can be served back, so the same run executes again with the network off. Useful for exactly the thing this guide is about — reproducing a bad run cheaply instead of paying tokens to re-provoke it.
It is not a replacement for Langfuse. Langfuse is where a fleet's traces live; this is a debugger you point at one run.
Verified against Hermes, today
Hermes Agent v0.21.0, orcareplay 0.2.3 from npm, on Windows. No key needed —
opencode-freeis served anonymously.The CA is generated per run, trusted only by the process orca launches, and deleted when the run ends — it is not installed into the system store.
Two limits, since this guide is the kind that would rather know
status 0 · client left. orca keeps it as network traffic rather than a replayable exchange, so a strict replay reportsunmatched=1for it, and on a multi-turn recording its position can stop a strict replay early.--loosecarries it through.--modeloverride was accepted and had no effect. So the entry claims record and replay only.Happy to shorten the line, move it, or drop the licence tag if that is only wanted for MCP servers — I included it since it is free either way.
