“When you’re dealing with massive applications, people often don’t really understand what’s going on in them,” said Aman Gupta, a GitHub engineer in a statement. “With Tracelytics, I immediately found issues that our other APM (application performance management) software had failed to identify.”

Tracelytics’ services start at $95 per month and go up to $495 for premium service. The company’s competitors include NewRelic, which charges $149 monthly for its pro services.

This first round of funding will be used to open a new office in Boston, Mass. and to hire more engineers. Bain Capital led the round, with participation from Google Ventures, Battery Ventures, and Flybridge Capital Partners, which led Tracelytics’ seed funding.

Tracelytics is based in Providence, Rhode Island. The company was founded in 2010 and has grown to eight employees.
