Lightrun has secured $23 million in Series A funding led by Insight Partners to enhance its continuous debugging platform for developers, positioning itself as a leader in the observability market.

Information on the Target

Lightrun, established in 2019 and headquartered in Tel Aviv, specializes in a continuous debugging and observability platform tailored for developers. The company was co-founded by CEO Ilan Peleg and CTO Leonid Blouvshein, and it currently employs a team of 20, having doubled its workforce within the past year. Lightrun aims to transform how developers interact with production code by providing tools that deliver an enhanced level of observability into the live state of applications, moving away from traditional, operator-focused observability solutions.

Recently, Lightrun secured $23 million in a Series A funding round led by Insight Partners, with continued backing from existing investor Glilot Capital Partners. This capital injection raises the company’s total funding to $26 million. The newly acquired funds will be directed towards expanding Lightrun's engineering team and accelerating the rollout of enterprise-level features that align with the modern shift-left paradigm, which emphasizes integrating observability earlier in the software development lifecycle.
