We are thrilled to announce that Lightrun — the world’s first dev-native continuous observability and debugging platform — has been recognized by Gartner as a Cool Vendor, based on its April 28 report titled, “Cool Vendors in Monitoring, Observability and Cloud Operations” by Padraig Byrne, Pankaj Prasad, Hassan Ennaciri, Venkat Rayapudi, and Gregg Siegfried. “Lightrun helps reduce mean time to repair (MTTR) by enabling continuous debugging capabilities.
Debugging is one of the most critical aspects of software development cycles. Developers not only leverage it to find and fix errors, but also to uncover potential performance issues in the code. Being able to debug is a core skill every developer needs to have in order to provide valuable, scalable solutions.
Continuous monitoring (CM), also referred to continuous control monitoring (CCM), is an automated process that allows DevOps teams to detect compliance and security threats in their software development lifecycle and infrastructure. Traditionally, businesses have relied on periodic manual or computer-assisted assessments to provide snapshots of the overall health of their IT environment.
We’re proud to announce the general availability of Lightrun Cloud – a completely free and self-service version of the Lightrun platform. We consider Lightrun Cloud to be a major milestone in our constant journey to empower developers with better observability tooling and welcome you to sign up for a free account.
Any production application needs to be monitored for its uptime. Let’s say you’ve developed a stock market statistics application, for example, using Spring Boot for your client. This application has to be up all the time while the stock market is open. If it’s down at a crucial time, it could mean huge losses for relevant stakeholders.
Lightrun, the continuous debugging and observability company, today announced the release of a free, self-service version of its popular debugging solution for developers. Lightrun Cloud is not only the most powerful debugger a developer can use to troubleshoot production applications live from within the IntelliJ IDE – but also the easiest to set-up, with a complete self-service experience that gets developers up and running in less than five minutes.
The tools and workflows you choose can make or break your project. In this article, I’ll walk you through the top ten build automation tools on the market today, so you can choose solutions that will help you best optimize your projects.
More than once, I’ve heard experienced software developers say that there are only two reasons to log: either you log Information or you log an Error. The implication here is that either you want to record something that happened or you want to be able to react to something that went wrong. In this article, we’ll take a closer look at logging and explore the fact that log levels are more than just black or red rows in your main logging system.
