Shifting Left Observability with Lightrun and Chronosphere

This solution brief outlines the challenges faced by teams in troubleshooting distributed cloud native applications due to their complex and decentralized nature. It highlights that cloud native environments generate significantly more observability data compared to traditional VM-based systems, which increases costs and complicates the troubleshooting process. The document presents Lightrun's developer observability platform as a means to enhance troubleshooting efficiency by enabling developers to add dynamic logs, snapshots, and metrics directly from their development environment. Additionally, it discusses the integration with the Chronosphere Observability Platform, which provides a service-centric perspective to help developers navigate complex systems. The brief emphasizes the importance of effective observability in managing the costs and complexities associated with cloud native environments, ultimately aiming to reduce troubleshooting time and improve operational efficiency.
