LightStep is an American software development company known for its observability platform, which provides distributed tracing technology for application performance monitoring.[1] It is currently headquartered in San Francisco.[2]
The software has been used by companies such as Lyft, Twilio, and Yext.[3][4]
History[edit]
Lightstep was founded in 2015 by former Google engineer Ben Sigelman, Ben Cronin, and Daniel Spoonhower.[5][6][7] At Google, Sigelman was one of the creators of Dapper, Google's production distributed systems tracing infrastructure.[8][9]
Lightstep's first product was application performance management software Lightstep PM, which released in 2017.[10][11][12]
Lightstep also announced LightStep Tracing in 2019, a standalone tracing tool that visualizes distributed traces across data available through SaaS applications.[13]
At the beginning of 2020, Lightstep introduced the Service Health for Deployments solution, which allows users to identify and address performance issues during deployments.[12]
In September 2020, Lightstep released OpenTelemetry Launchers, which uses distributed tracing and software tools from the open source project OpenTelemetry to identify performance issues.[14] In October 2020, Lightstep released a new GitHub Action called Lightstep Pre-Deploy Check, which brings observability data directly to GitHub.[15]
Lightstep added a new performance and change monitoring feature called Change Intelligence to its observability platform in February 2021.[16][17][18][19]
