Lightrun, a leader in developer observability, announced it raised an additional $18 million last year from GTM Capital, Insight Partners and Glilot Capital, bringing the company’s total funding to date to $45 million. The round was in the form of a SAFE contract.
Building on this success, Lightrun launched the industry's first Runtime Autonomous AI Debugger, now available in private beta.
By automating the entire debugging journey, from the initial ticket to pinpointing the exact culprit line of code in the IDE, Lightrun liberates developers from the endless cycle of troubleshooting. This innovative approach redefines observability and software debugging by saving developers from spending 50% of their time on troubleshooting, and cuts the operational MTTR of production incidents to mere minutes.
Building on the success Lightrun has had with its F100 enterprise customers, including Salesforce, Microsoft, AT&T, SAP, ADP, Priceline, and Inditex among others, Lightrun has proven its contribution to protecting revenue, managing risks associated with production downtimes, and achieving enhanced customer experience. By preventing downtime for mission-critical applications, Lightrun is saving enterprises hundreds of millions of dollars annually.
Lightrun’s new proprietary runtime debugging GenAI model, designed to automate live production debugging, enables developers to troubleshoot production applications and reduce MTTR from days or weeks to mere minutes. It suggests potential root causes, validating these hypotheses with real-time production data gathered by the SDK.

Lightrun’s patented Developer Observability Platform enables developers to add logs, metrics, and snapshots to live applications without having to release a new version or even stop the running process. The Platform consists of three critical layers: the Lightrun Client (IDE Plugin/CLI) which allows developers to add new logs, snapshots, and metrics; the Lightrun SDK™ bundled with every live application instance and is in charge of instrumenting the live application with new telemetry; and the Lightrun Management Server which holds the state of the system and provides an interface for administrators to configure Lightrun’s privacy and security controls.
