devkit

Tech stack & purpose

Devkit is a general-purpose OCaml library and development kit released by Ahrefs under the LGPL-2.1 license with an OCaml linking exception. It provides functionality for web requests and includes both local tracing support via the ocaml-trace mechanism and distributed tracing capabilities through OpenTelemetry integration. The library's Web module can generate W3C Trace Context headers and supports ambient context propagation for proper trace parentage across distributed systems, with examples provided for use with Lwt and cohttp backends.
