Lightrun is a fantastic and dynamic tool to have live debuging session without having any impact on live environment.

It has great capabilities to add logs, snapshots and debugger session to any live running environment without any code change or redeployment required.

Also it is light weight so add negligible overhead on the application infrastructure.

Loved the tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not exactly a dislike but would like tool to have capabilities to have better retention of the captured logs and snapshots. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Log and snashot are best i have ever use to debug any issue from light run. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has limited to line level specific veriable scope to snapshot object details, It would be nice if it is at class or method level Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Adding Lightrun actions is straightforward just like a local breakpoint is working, but remotely.

It is very simple to add a snapshot and a log directly within my code

I am using Scala and for me, debugging without the need to recompile and redeploy my code, is a great time saver. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Using the “evaluate” field sometimes not working for me. I assume I’m not using it correctly. I sometimes get the following error: “Invalid expression syntax” Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Being a web developer I was frustrated by bugs which reproduced only in production env and were nowhere to be found in development env.

By using lightrun to debug production env I was able to reduce time and tons of e-mails with requests for specifics about how to reproduce the bugs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing stands out for now, but I've been using it for a short time.

I haven't used other tools like it in the past, so this is my only experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lightrun helped us to debug a complex system in production with very few steps. It helped us also to with sneaky memory leaks.

The IDE plugin just works!

The deployment and the integration was just like installing any 3rd party libs.

The snapshot feature helped us a lot.

Thanks to Eliran and Noam for the support🙏🏼 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The bad thing is that you need to know what you are looking for.

Also maybe the tags should be better Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lightrun has changed the way I approach debugging for my cloud-native applications. The ability to debug during runtime, directly from my preferred integrated development environment (IDE), has been a game-changer in my development workflow.

The seamless integration of Lightrun with my IntelliJ IDE has been a boon. Gone are the days of having to rely solely on post-mortem analysis or setting up elaborate debugging environments. With Lightrun, I can now put breakpoints, inspect variables, and step through my code as it's actually running, all without disrupting the application's flow. This dynamic approach to debugging has been instrumental in identifying and resolving issues that might have been elusive otherwise.

One of the most significant advantages of using Lightrun is the speed at which I can address problems. By being able to debug directly from my IDE, I can quickly pinpoint the root cause of issues and make necessary corrections without the need for time-consuming back-and-forths between code and debugger interfaces. This has had a tangible impact on my productivity and has allowed me to allocate more time to actual development tasks rather than wrestling with debugging complexities.

Moreover, Lightrun aligns perfectly with the fast-paced nature of modern development. It not only accelerates issue resolution but also empowers me to experiment and iterate more effectively. This is particularly vital in a cloud-native environment where changes need to be implemented swiftly to meet evolving requirements.

In conclusion, Lightrun's ability to facilitate real-time debugging from within my IntelliJ IDE has elevated the quality and speed of my development activities. It's a tool that has brought efficiency, precision, and agility to my Java development process, allowing me to build and refine cloud-native applications with greater confidence and swiftness.

I'll be happy to see the solution grows and cover more technologies, it certainly on the right path Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lightrun has been a game-changer for me as a tester, addressing a critical pain point that many of us encounter: the challenge of debugging production-specific bugs.

Lightrun's standout feature is its direct integration into the production environment. This capability eliminates the need for back-and-forth emails and replication requests. As a tester, I can now swiftly identify issues, evaluate variables, and scrutinize expressions in real-time, all while the system functions seamlessly.

In my short time using Lightrun, I'm yet to uncover significant drawbacks. This tool has streamlined my workflow, providing efficient solutions for debugging, especially considering testers' need for access to production environments, which can be a hurdle in some organizations.

Lightrun addresses a vital concern for testers: the ability to debug in production. This eliminates the time-consuming process of recreating issues in development environments that might differ significantly. With Lightrun, I can now provide more accurate insights to the development team, enhancing collaboration and efficiency.

In conclusion, Lightrun's real-time debugging capabilities have transformed how I tackle production-specific bugs. Its integration into the production environment is a testament to its value, significantly enhancing my testing process and effectiveness Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The tool is user friendly. It contains the features necessary for us to perform appopriate failure analysis. Our prior state (and current state for many teams) involves cobbling together from various sources and using individuals as oracles for past failures. Lightrun makes it easier to doo root cause analysis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing about Lightrun the tool. I would love to see some industry recognized certifications on the tool with additional "university" courses from the vendor, so as I recruit I can have more confidence in an individuals ability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lightrun makes it easy to gain insight into the production environment without going through the tedious process of making changes to the codebase (no PRs, no release pipelines needed). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The setup could have been more intuitive but once you get it to work it's great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to add logs, and metrics to a running application without requiring restarts or redeployment is extremely helpful. The integration is also simple and straightforward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

No complaints. Thus far in my use of Lightrun, I haven't encountered any specific problems Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
