Empowering innovation, Engineering resilience, Leading with intelligence.

The rapid surge of AI-driven coding tools has dramatically accelerated software development across industries. However, with this velocity comes a major downside: an increase in bugs, system vulnerabilities, and technical debt. Addressing this critical challenge, Israeli startup Lightrun has secured $70 million in Series B funding to propel its AI-powered observability and real-time debugging platform to new heights.
Backed by leading investors such as Accel, Insight Partners, Citi, and others, Lightrun is making bold moves to enable organizations to identify, diagnose, and resolve code issues while applications are still running in production environments. Their client portfolio is impressive, featuring tech giants like Microsoft, SAP, Salesforce, and AT&T.

How Lightrun Is Changing the Game

At the heart of Lightrun’s innovation is its Runtime Autonomous AI Debugger — an intelligent tool designed to operate seamlessly within integrated development environments (IDEs). It simulates real-time production behavior, dynamically monitors live applications, and autonomously applies fixes before failures fully materialize.
This proactive debugging approach delivers several mission-critical advantages:

• Minimizes downtime and system outages

• Enhances system resilience under real-world load conditions

• Reduces the operational cost of bug remediation

• Accelerates incident resolution for engineering teams

As CEO Ilan Peleg puts it:

"Code is becoming cheap, but bugs are expensive."

In today’s landscape, with AI-generated code rapidly proliferating, developers are shipping more code than ever before — yet the debugging process remains largely manual, reactive, and resource-intensive. Lightrun’s platform bridges this critical gap by empowering teams with intelligent, continuous observability and preemptive debugging capabilities, directly within their workflows.
While Lightrun is currently laser-focused on IDE-centric debugging, future expansions into application security (AppSec) and autonomous code assistant technologies are on the horizon.

Why This Matters to Us

At Grayphite, we understand that the modern software ecosystem demands agility, scalability, and resilience — without compromising on quality or security. Lightrun’s momentum illustrates a broader industry imperative: businesses must adopt smarter, AI-driven development tools to stay competitive in an increasingly complex and automated world.
Our software services are strategically aligned with this shift. At Grayphite, we:

• Architect and deploy resilient, high-performance digital solutions

• Integrate AI-powered observability, anomaly detection, and automated debugging tools

• Future-proof software ecosystems with proactive monitoring and predictive maintenance

• Embed secure coding practices and scalable infrastructure design from day one

By staying at the cutting edge of innovations like AI-assisted debugging, we ensure that our clients are not just adapting to change — they are leading it.
