No hotfixes, redeployments or restarts required. Developers use Lightrun for multiple code-level observability needs, including: * Code-level alerts (Java, Node.js, Python, .NET) * Feature verification * Testing / debugging in production * Troubleshooting cloud native apps, Serverless, and more * Log optimization capabilities through a Log Optimizer(TM) By eliminating

Mezmo built an AI SRE agent that helps SRE and platform teams manage production environments with greater context, control, and trust. It supports autonomous incident detection, investigates incidents, identifies likely root causes, generates post-mortems, and turns repeatable operations work into governed agentic workflows on-call teams can rely on. The agent runs on AURA, Mezmo’s open-source agent harness, and is grounded by Mezmo’s real-time telemetry pipeline. Together, they give the agent task-ready context from logs, metrics, and traces instead of raw data dumps.
