Lightrun announced the release of a debugging solution specifically designed for software providers who need to provide on-prem customer deployments with real-time troubleshooting.
With Lightrun, software providers can get live production data from software that is installed on their customers’ sites, executed from the CLI, eliminating the customer’s need to participate in the exhausting troubleshooting process beyond this.
“Many of the world's most heavily regulated enterprise organizations are still running a majority of their software on-prem. For software providers selling to this market, debugging software in the customers’ environments has always been a messy problem that disrupts the customer and wreaks havoc on developers and support engineers," said Ilan Peleg, Co-founder and CEO at Lightrun. "Software companies often face endless iterative cycles of downtime and hotfixes on the customer premises, which significantly harms the customer experience. With Lightrun we have developed the first solution that can be deployed in the most secure on-prem environments - even those with no network connectivity - allowing software providers to troubleshoot their software without requiring customer calls or on-site visits by support engineers. Lightrun's on-prem solution is the fastest possible path to bug discovery and remediation, and greatly reduces the pain felt by any software provider who needs to fix a bug in production at a customer site."
Lightrun offers developers a number of robust features to help them efficiently debug in production while supporting third-party software providers including:
Addition of logs, virtual “breakpoints” and metrics during runtime
- From the CLI, quickly add a missing log line, instrument a metric, or place a snapshot to be taken on demand in the running app, in the production (or any) environment
- Analyze code behavior to find bottlenecks and errors without stopping the running process
Robust log and performance management integrations
- Once the action is added, the data can be printed to the APM of choice
- Explore and inspect in the same context as the existing logs - right inside the log analysis tool of choice including Datadog, Splunk, Elastic, and many more
Security and stability built-in
- Enterprise-level security measures include ISO 27001 certification, encryption, RBAC and SSO, audit trails and logs and privacy blocklisting
- The performance footprint ranges from tens to hundreds of microseconds per invocation. In idle mode, there is no overhead.

In live financial environments, capital markets software cannot pause for rebuilds. New capabilities are introduced as stacked technology layers to meet evolving demands while systems remain active, data keeps moving, and controls stay intact. AI is no exception, and its opportunities are significant: accelerated decision cycles, compressed manual workflows, and more effective operations across complex environments. The constraint isn't the models themselves, but the architectural environments they enter ...
Like most digital transformation shifts, organizations often prioritize productivity and leave security and observability to keep pace. This usually translates to both the mass implementation of new technology and fragmented monitoring and observability (M&O) tooling. In the era of AI and varied cloud architecture, a disparate observability function can be dangerous. IT teams will lack a complete picture of their IT environment, making it harder to diagnose issues while slowing down mean time to resolve (MTTR). In fact, according to recent data from the SolarWinds State of Monitoring & Observability Report, 77% of IT personnel said the lack of visibility across their on-prem and cloud architecture was an issue ...

Nearly every conversation about AI eventually circles back to compute. GPUs dominate the headlines while cloud platforms compete for workloads and model benchmarks drive investment decisions. But underneath that noise, a quieter infrastructure challenge is taking shape. The real bottleneck in enterprise AI is not processing power, it is the ability to store, manage and retrieve the relentless volumes of data that AI systems generate, consume and multiply ...

The observability industry has an evolving relationship with AI. We're not skeptics, but it's clear that trust in AI must be earned ... In Grafana Labs' annual Observability Survey, 92% said they see real value in AI surfacing anomalies before they cause downtime. Another 91% endorsed AI for forecasting and root cause analysis. So while the demand is there, customers need it to be trustworthy, as the survey also found that the practitioners most enthusiastic about AI are also the most insistent on explainability ...
In the modern enterprise, the conversation around AI has moved past skepticism toward a stage of active adoption. According to our 2026 State of IT Trends Report: The Human Side of Autonomous AI, nearly 90% of IT professionals view AI as a net positive, and this optimism is well-founded. We are seeing agentic AI move beyond simple automation to actively streamlining complex data insights and eliminating the manual toil that has long hindered innovation. However, as we integrate these autonomous agents into our ecosystems, the fundamental DNA of the IT role is evolving ...
