Dynatrace has announced positive customer adoption of the general availability of Dynatrace Live Debugger. First introduced in January 2025, Live Debugger is the first and only live debugging capability that seamlessly debugs thousands of services concurrently in a production environment without interrupting running code and accelerates developer adoption through its intuitive self-service tools.
As enterprise cloud and AI application environments become more dynamic and complex, traditional approaches to debugging applications are no longer sufficient to meet these demands. Dynatrace Live Debugger addresses this challenge head-on, delivering real-time, non-intrusive insights that accelerate problem-solving and streamline performance monitoring at scale.
Early adopters, including TELUS, have reported reducing debugging times up to 95%, making it indispensable for enterprises navigating the demands of modern innovation. Capable of supporting thousands of always-on instances and developer self-service, Live Debugger meets the requirements of the most complex modern enterprises embracing cloud and AI-native technologies in Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), RedHat OpenShift, and other enterprise cloud environments.
Whether debugging cloud-native deployments or AI workloads, Live Debugger provides a scalable, intelligent solution, which reduces the time, cost, and complexity to allow businesses to operate at speed without compromise.
Key features of Live Debugger
- Instant Data Access: Retrieve critical code-level data on demand without adding new code or redeploying. This eliminates delays that can stretch debugging cycles for weeks or even months. Live Debugger accesses production systems through the Dynatrace platform which provides enterprise-level privacy and security controls for debugging.
- Non-Breaking Breakpoints: Inspect an application’s full state, including variables, stack traces, and more, without interrupting or breaking its execution. Live Debugging avoids legacy debugging techniques that compromise performance.
- Enterprise Scale: Debug across thousands of workload instances simultaneously in real time to easily identify unknown unknowns faster and free time for innovation. With minimal performance impact, the technology can run in the background, allowing for highly flexible and comprehensive coverage.
“Dynatrace Live Debugger delivers game-changing productivity and insights for businesses managing increasingly complex cloud and AI workloads,” said Steve Tack, Chief Product Officer. “By enabling real-time debugging with non-breaking breakpoints, we provide developers with the data they need to succeed while protecting application performance. We’re addressing a tremendous market opportunity, empowering developers with an experience built for the complex agentic AI environments of the future.”
