Joining us today is Ilan Peleg, Co-Founder and CEO Lightrun. About Lightrun Founded in 2019, Lightrun is the first complete continuous debugging and observability platform. Lightrun allows developers to easily and securely add logs, performance metrics and traces to production and staging environments in real-time and on-demand. By enabling developers to gather data from the app in real-time, developers and engineering organization leaders gain 100% code-level observability and faster resolution of production issues. Lightrun replaces the iterative, non-agile process required today for debugging applications. ISO-27001 compliant, Lightrun is committed to enterprise-grade security standards. Lightrun is platform-agnostic, works on-prem, in the cloud, in containers and on serverless code. Lightrun’s proprietary sandbox ensures that the original application’s behavior is not compromised. On November 18, Lightrun and JFrog will host a joint webinar to discuss the larger trend of Continuous Observability and how they fit into it, and how engineering organizations can slash MTTR by employing Continuous Debugging during incident resolution.
