Rookout is a developer-first observability platform that enables engineers to collect real-time data from live applications without the need for code changes, redeployments, or restarts. Designed for cloud-native environments, Rookout allows developers to set non-breaking breakpoints, facilitating the extraction of logs, metrics, and traces directly from production systems. This approach significantly accelerates the debugging process, enabling faster identification and resolution of issues, thereby improving development velocity and reducing mean time to repair .
Key Features and Functionality:
- Non-Breaking Breakpoints: Set breakpoints that do not halt application execution, allowing for seamless data collection from live code.
- Live Debugging: Access code-level data, including variable values and stack traces, in real-time without stopping or altering the application.
- Broad Language and Environment Support: Compatible with multiple programming languages such as Java, .NET, Node.js, Python, Ruby, and Golang, and adaptable to various environments including on-premises, cloud-native, containers, and serverless architectures.
- Integration with Observability Tools: Seamlessly integrates with existing observability platforms, enabling developers to analyze new debug data alongside traditional logs and metrics.
- Security and Compliance: Adheres to high security standards with compliance to SOC 2 Type 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, HIPAA, and CCPA, ensuring data protection and privacy.
Primary Value and Problem Solved:
Rookout addresses the challenge of debugging live, cloud-native applications by providing developers with the ability to extract and analyze data in real-time without disrupting the application's operation. This capability eliminates the need for time-consuming code changes, redeployments, or reproducing issues in pre-production environments. By offering immediate insights into application behavior, Rookout empowers developers to resolve customer issues up to five times faster, enhancing development efficiency and ensuring the delivery of high-quality, reliable software.
