How to Reduce MTTR with AI-Powered Runtime Diagnosis

Reducing Mean Time to Resolution (MTTR) in production systems requires understanding failure behavior in real time. While AI code agents significantly accelerated software development and deployment, incident resolution has remained constrained by incomplete pre-captured telemetry. AI SRE tools improve signal correlation, but MTTR reduction requires runtime-verified diagnosis that confirms execution behavior directly in production systems.

How to Solve "Cannot Reproduce" Bugs That Cost Support Teams Hours

Support teams frequently face vague customer reports and incomplete data but need to offer fast resolutions autonomously without escalating to developers. In this article, learn how to equip support engineers with tools to diagnose root causes in minutes, increasing self-sufficient issue resolution. We explore eliminating the ‘Reproduction Tax’ for ‘cannot reproduce’ bugs using runtime context to achieve technical certainty at scale.

Kiro Can Now Use Lightrun via MCP

AI code assistants transformed how software is written. They did not transform how it fails. Today, we’re announcing a new MCP integration between Lightrun and Kiro. Kiro now gains live runtime visibility through the Lightrun MCP, grounding AI-assisted development in how code actually behaves at runtime. Kiro, the AI coding assistant from the teams at AWS, is built for velocity and intuition. It helps teams move from specification to production faster by turning intent into working code.

How to Make AI-Generated Code Reliable with Runtime Context

AI coding assistants like Cursor and Claude Code are driving massive productivity gains, yet they have introduced a critical validation gap in the software delivery lifecycle. While these tools excel at generating syntax, they lack visibility into live production environments. This article explains how Runtime Context, the missing nervous system of AI development, secures production by moving from probabilistic guessing to deterministic, live code validation.

Kiro Can Now Reason With Lightrun's Live Runtime Context

AI code generation is fast. Making it reliable requires runtime context. Today, Kiro gains live runtime visibility with the Lightrun MCP. This grounds AI-assisted development in how code actually behaves at runtime. Kiro, the AI coding assistant from the teams at AWS, is built for velocity and intuition. It moves from specification to production with speed and structure, helping teams turn intent into working code. But until now, like every AI coding assistant, Kiro had a major blind spot.

Lightrun Runtime Context MCP | Lightrun

In this video, Lightrun's Moshe Sambol walks you through the power of Lightrun MCP and Runtime Context. A game-changer for AI-assisted development. This integration lets developers debug live issues, inspect real-world variables, and verify fixes across environments, all without leaving the IDE. With Lightrun MCP, you can: Capture live transaction state directly from Staging and Production. Identify root causes using real runtime values, not just static code. Verify fixes instantly without redeploying or context switching.

What is Runtime Context? A Practical Definition for the AI Era

TLDR: Runtime Context is live, execution-level access to a running production system. It lets engineers and AI agents ask precise questions of running code and get answers immediately, without redeploying or interrupting users. This is the new baseline for reliability.

Lightrun MCP: Your AI Assistant Now Debugs and Validates Production Code

Intermittent production bugs are hard to debug and rarely reproduce locally. Teams fall into a loop of adding logs, and every rollback slows them down. In this demo, R&D team leads Maor Yaffe and Or Golan show how an AI assistant can verify production issues using real runtime data, without redeploying. By connecting Cursor to Lightrun MCP, the agent inspects live production behavior, collects real variable values, and confirms the root cause with evidence instead of assumptions.
