What is Lightrun?
Lightrun is a developer-first observability platform designed to enhance the debugging process. It enables developers to instrument logs, metrics, and traces in real-time, directly within their IDE, without requiring code changes, redeployments, or restarts. This capability extends across various environments, including monoliths, microservices, Kubernetes, CI, and serverless applications.
The platform prioritizes security and privacy, conforming to ISO-27001, SOC 2, GDPR, and HIPAA standards. Lightrun ensures that only metadata, not the source code, passes through its servers. Its architecture supports seamless integration with popular IDEs like VSCode, JetBrains, and Visual Studio, making it a versatile tool for diverse development teams.
Features
- Dynamic Logs: Add logs to live applications without redeployment.
- Snapshots (Virtual Breakpoints): Capture the state of a live application at a specific line of code without stopping it.
- Zero-Config Metrics: Automatically collect performance metrics.
- Dynamic Traces: Instrument traces in real time to understand application flow.
- IDE Integration: Works directly within IDEs like IntelliJ IDEA, Visual Studio, and VSCode.
- Multi-Instance Debugging: Supports debugging across multiple instances, including Kubernetes and serverless environments.

FAQs
-
Do you charge per developer seat or per SDK?
Lightrun charges per SDK – concurrently running SDKs, which directly translate into running application instances (running JVMs, V8s, Python interpreters, etc…). -
What languages does Lightrun support?
Lightrun supports all JVM languages – Java, Scala & Kotlin, as well as Node.js (including TypeScript), Python (both 2 & 3) and .NET (C# and F#). We’ll be releasing support for more languages soon – stay tuned! -
Does Lightrun work on-prem?
Lightrun can be deployed completely on-prem, without relying on any Lightrun-hosted infrastructure. In addition, Lightrun can be deployed to airgapped, un-networked environments – contact our sales team to learn more.
