KoolKits (Kubernetes toolkits) are highly-opinionated, language-specific, batteries-included debug container images for Kubernetes. In practice, they’re what you would’ve installed on your production pods if you were stuck during a tough debug session in an unfamiliar shell. To briefly give some background, note that these container images are intended for use with the new kubectl debug feature, which spins up Ephemeral containers for interactive troubleshooting.

Understanding everything that happens inside a production environment is a notoriously difficult task. Instana’s solution helps developers and DevOps become aware of problems quickly – problems that are rooted in both infrastructure-level information and application-level information. Lightrun, on the other hand, enables practitioners to drill deeper into line-by-line, debugger-grade information from your production systems – enriching the existing information Instana delivers.

Lightrun is the world’s first IDE-native observability platform. A developer-first product, Lightrun enables engineering teams to connect to their live applications and continuously identify critical issues without hotfixes, redeployments, or restarts. We are proud to announce the general availability of the Lightrun extension for Visual Studio Code, the popular IDE from Microsoft.

Cover major milestones in app security: finding the issue, evaluating a breach, proving it and validating the fix. We didn’t design Lightrun for this task, but it rises to the challenge. I’m not a security expert. I’d like to think of myself as a security conscious developer, but this is a vast subject with depth and breadth. What I understand is Lightrun and Debugging. In that capacity, I can show some creative ways you can use it as a security tool.

Linux is an open-sourced operating system for computers, smartphones, servers, mainframes, and embedded devices. The main advantage of Linux over other operating systems is that Linux is an open-source operating system, which means that you can view, edit, customize, enhance, and share the code with anyone. The release of Linux garnered a huge community of contributors that created a variety of features and distributions for users at no added cost.

As a DevOps Engineer, one day you’re performing magic in the terminal, settling clusters, and feeling like a god. On some other days, you feel like a total fraud and scam. Errors and bugs appear from everywhere, you don’t know where to start, and you don’t know where to look. Sadly, days like this come far too often. To be more specific, what often causes these bad days is none other than Kubernetes itself.

In basically every modern software organization, building software is not just a matter of writing code – it’s a matter of testing it to ensure it works properly, a matter of creating artifacts out of it that can be used by the end customers, and a matter of deploying them to a customer-accessible location for these customers to be able to actually use it.

Spring Boot is the most popular Java framework, with over 50 percent of developers using it. Java engineers working in the spring framework can deploy web applications quickly, without the need for a separate server. Spring focuses on speed, simplicity, and productivity. It uses Inversion of Control, or IoC, and dependency injection to increase modularity and enable loose coupling. Spring Boot builds off of the spring framework.

Debugging is the process of identifying, analyzing and removing errors in the software. It is a process that can start at any stage of the software development, even as early as the software has been written. Sometimes, remote debugging is necessary. In the simplest terms, remote debugging is debugging an application running in a remote environment like production and staging.

As developers, we spend a lot of time in our IDEs writing new code, refactoring code, adding tests, fixing bugs and more. And in recent years, IDEs have become powerful tools, helping us developers with anything from interacting with HTTP requests to generally boosting our productivity. So you have to ask — what if we could also prevent security issues in our code before we ship it?
