What is Digma?
Digma is an innovative developer tool that leverages Preemptive Observability Analysis (POA) technology to identify potential issues before they impact production environments. The platform operates as an IDE plugin, allowing developers to spot performance issues, avoid breaking changes, and optimize code efficiency during the development cycle.
Running locally on developers' machines or within private cloud environments, Digma ensures data privacy by avoiding public AI systems and requiring no code modifications. The tool is OTEL-compliant and provides comprehensive insights about code performance, scalability issues, and potential breaking changes, all while maintaining data security within the organization's boundaries.

FAQs
-
Can Digma predict code behavior?
No, it uses production data to generate real insights – not predictions. -
Does Digma send observability data to the cloud?
No, Digma runs all observability analytics locally on your machine via Docker containers. It is not a SaaS service and does not upload observability data. -
Is this going to instrument my code and change it in production?
No, Digma relies on OpenTelemetry vanilla instrumentation with a few added attributes. It leaves your code untouched.
