Rookout, a modern debugging platform helping developers resolve customer bugs five times faster, announced on Friday a Tracing Timeline that visualizes tracing data alongside debugging data for lightning-quick understandability of complex applications.

By integrating with the OpenTelemetry API, developers using the Rookout platform get an extra layer of tracing context integrated with their debugging sessions.
Rookout automatically integrates with the OpenTelemetry project, making it simple to hook into Jaeger, Zipkin, Lightstep and other tracing solutions. When a Rookout Non-Breaking Breakpoint is hit in an application, tracing data such as span, logs, tags and more are collected. This newly collected data is then visualized into a detailed tracing timeline, side by side with data that is natively collected by Rookout, such as local variables, stack traces, metadata and more.
"We believe that Observability and Understandability tools need to be tightly integrated," said Shahar Fogel, CEO of Rookout. "Now developers can set a non-breaking breakpoint in any line of code and immediately fetch the relevant tracing data. No need to context switch over to your Observability tool – the telemetry developers need is funneled directly into the debugging experience within Rookout."
