Lightrun is the world’s first developer observability platform. Our revolutionary developer-first approach enables engineering teams to connect to their live applications to continuously identify and tackle critical issues without hotfixes, redeployments, or restarts.

Issues that used to take 1-2 weeks to mitigate now take our customers on average less than an hour to solve. Lightrun also introduces AI-driven autonomous debugging capabilities, transforming the software development lifecycle (SDLC) by automating root cause analysis and significantly reducing manual intervention. Lightrun empowers our customers' developers by eliminating the need for costly developer lifecycle operations like reproducing locally or issuing a new software version just for adding new logs or metrics.
