Lightrun
Developer-Native Observability.
Overview
Lightrun is a developer-native observability platform that enables developers to securely add logs, performance metrics, and traces to production and staging environments in real time, on demand. This allows for deep, code-level insights into running applications without the need for code changes, redeployments, or restarts. Lightrun helps developers understand complex systems, debug issues faster, and reduce the mean time to resolution (MTTR).
