"Working with Lightrun is cool"
5/5
What do you like best about Lightrun?

- It supports typescript!

- I can easily add logs and snapshots to a running code in production without the need to wait for a deployment to run. this is a major advantage if I need to understand what's going on in real-time.

- I don't need to replicate the production environment in my local machine. I can work directly on production. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lightrun?

- no support in GO which is unfortunate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Generally, to tool is excellent,

We can always improve the way of manage agents/ instances from the app/ website management dashboard and manage the tool more at the user level and not the account level. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Very Helpful for debug in production env"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Lightrun?

We have been using Lightrun for several years now and the tool is a tremendous time saver. it is almost as good as running IDE debugger attached to production env. The ability to print log conditionally is especailly useful.

Also, the guys over at Lightrun are very responsive for questions and comments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lightrun?

the compiler that Lighgtrun uses is not as powerful as the one from the JDK so you need to learn its eccentricities. for example, it does not do autoboxing so you cannot compare Integer object to number literal like you would do in your source code. you have to explicitly convert the object to primitive value (intValue())

The guys at Lightrun have improved the user experience of the tool with every new release, and there is still way to go. there are little QoL improvements that can help in picking tags of server instances, managing multiuple log files and snapahots.

Also, I can see many places where AI would be very helpful: creating log condiitons and expressions, duplicating log msgs, "linking" log msgs at begining and exit of method, auto expiration of logs and snapshots ... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
