INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Israeli startup Rookout is tackling one aspect of this by helping developers track down issues in production code without forcing developers
to do any additional coding to write additional tests and re-deploy their apps
Liran Haimovitch told me that their own experience in writing code led them to starting this project
Weis, who has taken the CEO role, with Haimovitch being the CTO, noted that only a few years ago, your code would run in its own box and
The IDE will pull in the code and let you browse it
Once the production code runs again, all of the data is automatically pushed into the IDE so that you can examine the entire stack trace up
to where you set the breakpoint.All of this works for code that was written in Python and Node.js, as well as for Java virtual machine (JVM)
languages like Scala or Kotlin
used with both serverless and containerized applications, too.While Rookout focuses on collecting data, the team was pretty clear about the
of customers in the pipeline
Looking ahead, the team plans to add support for Go and other languages as the requests come in, and gradually add more IDE support,
too.Like at many a startup, the founders are still working out their pricing model
The current plan is to focus it around the number of hosts that a company is using, though that could still change.
