“There are more than one million JavaScript packages in the npm registry, and the number of great technologies developers can tap into is one of the things that makes JavaScript such a thriving ecosystem”
With the release, Lightrun is supporting Node.js, the Webstorm IDE, and popular JavaScript web application frameworks like Express, Koa and more. Lightrun allows deep Node.js code-level inspection capabilities directly within WebStorm and Intellij IDEs, giving JavaScript developers the ability to examine not only their running code on Node.js, but also running code for any other third party software package running on their Node.js applications.

“There are more than one million JavaScript packages in the npm registry, and the number of great technologies developers can tap into is one of the things that makes JavaScript such a thriving ecosystem,” said Ilan Peleg, Co-Founder and CEO at Lightrun. “But with such a massive catalogue of third party dependencies comes a large amount of complexity. Specifically, with so many moving parts, it’s hard to reproduce problems locally – you need to understand not only your own application but also code issues related to third party packages your application relies on, and the infrastructure the application is running on. Lightrun gives JavaScript developers observability tooling that is integrated into the development workflow, into the IDE, into the CLI – and enables you to debug in real time, while the application is still running in production.”
