Since the emergence of the cloud, the DevOps movement, and the rise of microservices, developers have been increasingly responsible for the operation of their software. “You build it, you run it” (YBYR) and “You build it, you operate it” (YBYO) have become common mantras in the software engineering industry. However, there’s a misunderstanding in this statement. Developers should remain focused on building software.

JIT Access, sometimes referred to as just-in-time provisioning or just-in-time privileged access management (JIT PAM), is a security strategy that grants users access privileges for limited time periods. Access is granted on an “as-needed” basis. For example, if a developer requires access to a specific platform for a week or as part of an on-call access to production duty, a JIT Access system can provide that access and automatically revoke it after the time period ends.

The software world is changing rapidly due to advancements in GenAI. These technologies are disrupting traditional processes and driving automation across every part of the SDLC. The market for AI code tools is estimated to reach $30 billion by 2032. It started with code generation, then moved to testing, QA, automatic pull requests, and beyond.

According to a recent study, failing tests alone cost the enterprise software market an astonishing $61 billion annually. This figure mirrors the vast number of resources devoted to rectifying software failures, translating into about 620 million developer hours lost each year. On average, engineers spend 13 hours to resolve a single software failure, a statistic that paints a stark picture of the current state of debugging efficiency.

Over the last few decades, software systems have grown complex due to the emergence of cloud-native architectures and multi-cloud environments. On the one hand, this makes it difficult to detect issues faster in the deployed application. It also requires intricate coordination between development, DevOps, and SRE teams, as they are also expected to speed up the whole software delivery process.

In software development, dynamic instrumentation is a powerful linchpin between the development and debugging workflows. With software complexity reaching unprecedented levels, it is also a key enabler in boosting developer productivity in the pursuit of building performant and error-free software. Let’s explore the concept of dynamic instrumentation and understand how it boosts software development processes with unparalleled insights into the source code.

This video showcases how with Lightrun developer observability platform, developers can leverage the AI debugger within the platform plugin to swiftly identify critical code level issues through automated hypothesis and insertion of debugging actions at runtime (Lightrun dynamic logs, virtual breakpoints (Snapshots) and more. That helps reduce MTTR to mere minutes.

As experienced cybersecurity engineers with strong cloud and SaaS backgrounds, the Lightrun team fully recognizes the importance of embedding security as part of the product design and delivery. This document provides a high-level overview of Lightrun's security model, architecture and primary controls. While there are no 100% bulletproof solutions, the Lightrun platform is designed with a significant investment in security from the ground up, as outlined in this document.

Lightrun is a Developer Native Observability Platform, enabling developers to securely add logs, performance metrics and traces to production and staging in real time, on demand.

Insert logs and metrics in real time even while the service is running. Debug monolith microservices, Kubernetes, Docker Swarm, ECS, Big Data workers, serverless, and more.

Developer-Native Observability Platform:

  • Increase developer productivity: Spend less time debugging and more time coding. No more restarting, redeploying and reproducing when debugging.
  • Enhance site reliability: Reduce MTTR and increase customer satisfaction. Identify and resolve bugs faster with less downtime.
  • Resolve bugs faster: Add logs, snapshots, and metrics dynamically to your live app. Skip the traditional CI/CD pipelines.
  • Debug in production, staging, anywhere: Lightrun does not interrupt running apps. Debug in any environment: production, staging, testing, dev, etc.

Save your valuable debugging time and keep your service reliable.
