Lightrun Named a 2021 Gartner Cool Vendor

Lightrun Recognized in the 2021 Gartner Cool Vendors in Monitoring, Observability, and Cloud Operations Report¹

TEL AVIV, Israel--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Lightrun, the continuous debugging and observability company, today announced that Gartner has recognized it as a Cool Vendor based on the April 28, 2021 report titled “Cool Vendors in Monitoring, Observability and Cloud Operations” by Padraig Byrne, Gregg Siegfried, Venkat Rayapudi, Hassan Ennaciri, and Pankaj Prasad.

According to the report, “Modern monitoring and observability tools blur the line between traditional IT operations and development. I&O leaders looking to accelerate business velocity should evaluate how innovative vendor approaches can deliver enhanced insight into their development pipeline and production environments.”

Lightrun enables developers to connect to live applications from their integrated development environments (IDEs) and define what type of data and metrics the application should be generating during runtime, to help improve application observability and performance. With Lightrun, developers can define new logs and application code traces to a live application, providing line-by-line visibility to understand how code behaves during runtime.

"We consider Lightrun's inclusion in this Cool Vendor report by Gartner as a validation of our vision that code level observability should be shifted left to developers in the software development lifecycle," said Ilan Peleg, co-founder and CEO of Lightrun. "Modern development cycles keep pushing teams to ship faster, and Lightrun represents a new class of tooling that is giving production code visibility to developers within the same IDE and CLI environments they use to write their applications. Continuous observability of production code allows developers to find and fix production bugs that are otherwise very difficult to pinpoint in logs."

Lightrun launched in 2019 with seed funding from Gilot Capital Partners and leading engineering executives from several Fortune 500 companies. Today the company’s continuous debugging and observability platform is used by industry leaders such as ad-tech giant Taboola, security leaders WhiteSource and Tufin, data analytics powerhouse Sisense, and e-Commerce platform Yotpo and others.
