Lightrun Overview

Editedit
What is Lightrun?

Named 2021 Gartner Cool Vendor, Lightrun builds an IDE-native observability & debugging platform that enables developers to securely add logs, metrics and traces to production and staging environments in real time, on demand. No hotfixes, redeployments or restarts required. Developers use Lightrun for multiple code-level observability needs, including: * Code-level alerts (Java, Node.js, Python, .NET) * Feature verification * Testing / debugging in production * Troubleshooting cloud native apps, Serverless, and more * Log optimization capabilities through a Log Optimizer(TM) By eliminating the need to reproduce bugs locally or issue a new software version for adding new logs or metrics to troubleshoot production issues, Lightrun's customers consistently reduce their MTTR by up to 50-60% and significantly improve development productivity. Issues that used to take 1-2 weeks to mitigate now take our customers on average less than an hour to solve. Lightrun empowers our customers' developers by eliminating the need for costly developer lifecycle operations like reproducing locally, or issuing a new software version just for adding new logs or metrics. Our customers, running petabyte-scale workloads with QPS in the high 100Ks across thousands of production servers, include companies that reach 44.5% of the internet's population and major, publicly-traded cybersecurity companies.

What do you like best about Lightrun?

Lightrun live debugging is magic. It's so easy to troubleshoot bugs with it. And I can do that without leaving my favorite VSCode. Also it's very simple to start off, it takes couple of lines in our node.js code to set it up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lightrun?

No downsides, this is very robust solution Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Lightrun solving and how is that benefiting you?

Bugs in legacy parts of the application where we don't have much logs are hard to debug without it. Lightrun helps viewing the state at any line easily and save tons of time. Without it we would have deployed new versions in several iterations, which is very slow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
