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?

For years, I've been deploying and redeploying—it was the only solution I knew. Then LightRun came along and transformed my experience. Remote debugging became incredibly easy and saved me so much time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lightrun?

I would be happy if the setup process would be a bit easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Remote debugging!!! Deploying and re-deploying should not be done anymore!! For me it's a huge benefit because it previously took me so much time! Now I just debug using Lightrun. It's super useful in integration-heavy systems, where debugging is super complex. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lightrun?

There is not much to dislike, except that everyone isn't using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Showing a performance issue as a function is developed allows companies to shift left and reduce the cost of these defects as early as possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Integrated with IntelliJ. Has an on-prem option. Secure architecture. Has a good support team. Does not affect the underlying service operation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
