Runtime context,
right from JetBrains
Access full inline runtime context direct in the JetBrains IDE to see your live application’s behavior, without redeploying or risking production stability.
A faster path to reliable software
Engineer remotely
from your IDE
Connect directly to remote environments from your IDE and capture runtime data on demand. Inspect execution paths, variables, and logic under live traffic without changing code.
Streamline your
deployment cycle
Add missing logs, snapshots, or metrics on demand directly into the JetBrains IDE interface. Observe your live application’s state without redeploying services.
Accelerate
investigations with AI
Supply your IDE enabled AI code agents with live runtime context via MCP, so they reason over real execution behavior to validate code and prevent issues arising.
Three simple steps to runtime context
1. Install the plugin from the
JetBrains Marketplace
Open the JetBrains Marketplace from IntelliJ IDE, PyCharm, WebStorm, or Rider, search for the Lightrun plugin, and install it.
2. Connect to your Lightrun
Management Server
Log in to Lightrun, there’s no IP setup or environment configuration needed. Everything is ready to use immediately.
3. Pick a target environment
to start instrumenting
Select a running service from the IDE and dynamically inject logs, snapshots, or metrics without needing to redeploy.
