Rookout belongs to a new class of developer tools that aim to make application debugging more interactive than the standard “inspect logs” experience that is standard industry practice today. I’d encourage checking out the demo to understand the tool better.

We discuss the state of developer tools today, debuggability, observability, and “understandability” of code, the technical implementation of Rookout, the engineering workflows around debugging tools, the sales process for Rookout, and more.
