In this episode of the VMblog Expert Video Interview Series, we are joined by Shahar Fogel, CEO at Rookout, a cloud-native debugging and live data collection platform, which allows software engineers to instantly access the code-level data they need in order to troubleshoot and understand complex, modern applications.
Watch this video interview as we look at Rookout’s current positioning, from “debugging” to a focus on “developer-first observability.”
Rookout’s core offering to date has been the ability to debug complex applications in production. Debugging in customer’s production environments is highly sensitive and complex — find out how Rookout accomplishes this.
Rookout has announced a new line of IDE plugins. Developers spend a lot of time coding in their IDEs, so this seems like a no-brainer. Fogel explores why they decided to launch this now and what additional benefits it will provide developers that they didn’t have before. Fogel also discusses how the new IDE plugins work with the core Rookout web platform.
What about tools for debugging Kubernetes, what’s on the market? And is it more difficult to debug than your average application given the complexity? Fogel answers, and also talks about how Rookout can help.
