Sidekick is one of the great ways to solve observability issues in our microservice applications. It's like putting a tracer bullet in our codebase which helps us to pinpoint parts of the infrastructure that can be improved or is failing. Now, with the help of non-intrusive tracepoints, Sidekick is taking debugging a step further by almost pinpointing issues at a glance.
The ability to do on-demand and non-stopping tracepoints at the production is amazing. The bonus part is that its performance impact is minimal. You may never know where you might need to deep dive, so Sidekick's flexibility makes it immensely useful.
Sidekick allows us to instantly debug any issue in our microservice architectures. As we also monitor them with Thundra APM, Sidekick gives us the power of detailed tracing functionality and the ability to detect error route causes before they impact our customers.
Sidekick helped JustFulfil developers revolutionize their development cycles dramatically. Debugging is now done 10x faster and the development cycle times improved drastically. Developers prevent production issues easily with Sidekick now.
With easy set-up in minutes, Sidekick lets us quickly dig deep into our data pipeline. We identify and solve issues even before they happen, thanks to the distributed tracing technology provided by Sidekick.
Sidekick currently supports Java (JVM-based languages), Python, and Node.JS languages.Sidekick is platform-agnostic. It supports AWS, Azure, GCP, OpenShift, Kubernetes, Docker, and more.
Yes! Sidekick supports IntelliJ IDEA, and VSCode IDE's for now apart from its web IDE. Please let us know which IDE's you'd like Sidekick to support.
Yes! With Sidekick, not only does your data stay with you but you can also deploy Sidekick's app on your premises. You can install Sidekick on your own cloud account, your data center, or even on your laptop so that nothing gets transferred out of your control.
Talking about Sidekick’s SaaS version, your code is only loaded to your browser to provide a friendly experience. It will never reach our servers. And, to protect your data, we offer extensive data redaction and encryption capabilities. We are able to offer additional security measures according to whatever guidelines your security architect will need.
Sidekick combines tracepoints (aka non-breaking breakpoints) with distributed tracing with a native approach. This way; DevOps, SRE, QA, test, software engineers & managers can discover the issue's root causes effortlessly! Sidekick does not restrict you with an environment, it works with both IntelliJ IDEA and VS Code as a plugin and provides a web IDE which you can bring to anywhere without installing any dependency. Sidekick’s flexible pricing and workspace features allows you to debug your applications collaboratively.
