Observability refers to the capability of comprehending the internal functioning of a complex system by observing its external outputs. Observability tools help developers understand the entire scenario of an application by digging into the data that is being used and recorded. And can help pipe data across various solutions used within enterprises to read and discover what’s going on from analytics.
Rookout is an observability platform with a developer-first approach that empowers you to collect any data point, even from the most intricate levels of live code, in real time and as needed.

With Snapshots, developers can accurately and quickly capture application state with outstanding performance and built-in security.
