Observe Your Live Application — Straight From PyCharm

Developer time is precious and should be spent crafting creative code, not diving through endless logs, metrics and traces.

Lightrun is a developer observability platform that empowers you to understand anything that happens in a live application — all straight from your IDE.

• Dynamically Instrument Live Applications: On demand, in real time without stopping the application
• Never Leave The IDE: Pop the hood on your live application without moving away from your code
• Get What You Need, When You Need It: Lightrun’s console lets you see output in real-time with a dedicated view that enables analysis within PyCharm

Imagine if, wherever you are working, you could connect straight to your live applications and add telemetry on the fly without having to release a new version.

Lightrun enables you to perform dynamic instrumentation across all of your environments at the same time to debug them, inspect their state and troubleshoot difficult issues. Lightrun is:

• Deployment-Agnostic: Works in cloud-native applications, Kubernetes, serverless and much more
• Supported Across Multiple Runtimes: Including Node.js, Python, Java, Scala, Kotlin, and .NET (C# and F#).
• Available For All Environments: Debug local, staging, QA and production environments without a direct connection or networking hidden secrets

It’s easy to get started using Lightrun’s Developer Observability tools in PyCharm. In just a few clicks you can ensure that you never have to leave the IDE to understand what’s going on in your application again!

To start using Lightrun in PyCharm, you can either install Lightrun’s plugin directly or download it from JetBrain’s Plugin Marketplace.
