What is Lightrun?
Founded in 2019, Lightrun is a continuous debugging and observability platform. Lightrun allows developers to securely add logs, performance metrics and traces to production and staging environments in real-time and on-demand. By enabling developers to gather data from the app in real-time, developers and I&O leaders gain code-level observability and faster resolution of production issues. Lightrun replaces the iterative, non-agile process required today for debugging applications.
Real-time Debugging from Dev to Production
Lightrun aims to provide:
Reduced MTTR
No more local reproduction of environments, restarts or redeployments. Skip the traditional CI/CD pipelines to identify and resolve bugs faster, more easily and with less downtime.
Continuous Debugging Agility
Add logs, snapshots and metrics to a live app, as many as needed. Extract variables, values, performance metrics, and arguments, without releasing a new version.
Security and Stability
Lightrun guarantees the security and privacy of code with enterprise-level security measures: ISO 27001 certification, encryptions, RBAC and SSO, audit trail and logs and privacy blocklisting.
Environment Agnostic
Lightrun operates everywhere and anywhere: on-prem, in the cloud (AWS, GCP, Azure), for microservices, for serverless, and K8. Debug in any environment across any infrastructure.
Minimal Footprint
The vendor states Lightrun’s footprint is negligible. The invocation requires a minimal footprint ranging from tens of milliseconds to hundreds. To ensure overhead control, we use quotas to impose usage limits. A built-in sandbox prevents state modifications.
