Early Observability in Platform Engineering: Challenges and Solutions

Since the emergence of the cloud, the DevOps movement, and the rise of microservices, developers have been increasingly responsible for the operation of their software. “You build it, you run it” (YBYR) and “You build it, you operate it” (YBYO) have become common mantras in the software engineering industry. However, there’s a misunderstanding in this statement. Developers should remain focused on building software.

How Generative AI Is Revolutionizing Debugging

In the rapidly evolving landscape of software development, the integration of generative AI has become a game-changer for organizations striving to deliver high-quality software at scale. Among its many transformative applications, autonomous debugging stands out as a critical advancement, offering the potential to revolutionize the way development teams tackle errors and maintain operational efficiency.

Best Practices for Using JIT Access as Part of Developer Observability

JIT Access, sometimes referred to as just-in-time provisioning or just-in-time privileged access management (JIT PAM), is a security strategy that grants users access privileges for limited time periods. Access is granted on an “as-needed” basis. For example, if a developer requires access to a specific platform for a week or as part of an on-call access to production duty, a JIT Access system can provide that access and automatically revoke it after the time period ends.

The New Era of Autonomous Debugging: Transforming the SDLC

The software world is changing rapidly due to advancements in GenAI. These technologies are disrupting traditional processes and driving automation across every part of the SDLC. The market for AI code tools is estimated to reach $30 billion by 2032. It started with code generation, then moved to testing, QA, automatic pull requests, and beyond.

Streamlining Debugging with Lightrun Snapshots: A Superior Alternative to Trace Logging

According to a recent study, failing tests alone cost the enterprise software market an astonishing $61 billion annually. This figure mirrors the vast number of resources devoted to rectifying software failures, translating into about 620 million developer hours lost each year. On average, engineers spend 13 hours to resolve a single software failure, a statistic that paints a stark picture of the current state of debugging efficiency.

Application Observability And Its Role In Modern Software Development

Over the last few decades, software systems have grown complex due to the emergence of cloud-native architectures and multi-cloud environments. On the one hand, this makes it difficult to detect issues faster in the deployed application. It also requires intricate coordination between development, DevOps, and SRE teams, as they are also expected to speed up the whole software delivery process.

Unlock The Power of Dynamic Instrumentation for Enhanced Software Observability

In software development, dynamic instrumentation is a powerful linchpin between the development and debugging workflows. With software complexity reaching unprecedented levels, it is also a key enabler in boosting developer productivity in the pursuit of building performant and error-free software. Let’s explore the concept of dynamic instrumentation and understand how it boosts software development processes with unparalleled insights into the source code.
