Dec 8, 2021 · Season 5 · 36 min
Observability for your production apps
Ilan Peleg is 29 years old, and has been a long time middle distance runner. He previously ran the 800 meters, and served int he Israeli Army as a professional athlete. At the age of 21, he retired and started his tech career. He said that there are many who would correlate their Israeli service area of their professional success. He just recently got engaged. He proposed to his fiancé outside of Tel Aviv, on a cliff, in the same spot where they had their first kiss. Generally, he enjoys sports and athletics, and sees it has a positive effect on how he manages his team at Lighten. He also likes to travel, and stay educated on the topics he follows.
Ilan and his co-founder were developers in many different types of companies - startups, enterprises, etc. It seemed to them that it was easy to debut and troubleshoot applications in development, but found it very difficult to observe applications in production. They realized that most developers were not equipped with the right tooling to troubleshoot and understand live applications in the wild.
This is the creation story of Lighten.
