Decision brief
Burr by Apache offers a comprehensive framework for decision-making applications, including chatbots, with built-in monitoring and state management.
Good fit when
- You prefer Python for developing AI-driven applications that require state persistence across interactions.
- Your project benefits from real-time observability through its telemetry UI, particularly with complex state changes.
Avoid when
- If you need a lightweight solution without the overhead of server setup and maintenance for monitoring.
- When your application does not interact heavily with user states or require extensive tracing capabilities.

Quick start
Install from pypi:
pip install "apache-burr[start]"
(see the docs if you're using poetry)
Then run the UI server:
burr
This will open up Burr's telemetry UI. It comes loaded with some default data so you can click around.
It also has a demo chat application to help demonstrate what the UI captures, enabling you to see things changing in
real-time. Hit the "Demos" side bar on the left and select chatbot. To chat it requires the OPENAI_API_KEY
environment variable to be set, but you can still see how it works if you don't have an API key set.
Next, start coding / running examples:
git clone https://github.com/apache/burr && cd burr/examples/hello-world-counter
python application.py
You'll see the counter example running in the terminal, along with the trace being tracked in the UI. See if you can find it.
