Monitoring, Observability, & Debuggability Explained

Jul 31, 2024 By William O'Neal In Sentry
Monitoring tools are great at letting you know when something is broken and the overall impact. We should know, we make an error monitoring tool. Observability tools are good for well, observing. But here’s the thing, you (we) don’t observe code. We (you) push code. So what the collective “we” need is a tool that makes it easy to ship, improve, and maintain reliable and performant code.

Streamlining Debugging with Lightrun Snapshots: A Superior Alternative to Trace Logging

Jul 22, 2024 By Tal Yitzhak In Lightrun
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.
