Sidekick was a live debugging and observability service that let developers collect tracepoint and logpoint data from running applications without redeploying or stopping them. Thundra Inc. has ceased operations, so the product is no longer in service.
Use cases
- debug production applications without stopping them
- add tracepoints to running Java services
- capture application state at runtime
- collect logs from live systems without redeployment
When to choose
- you only need to read the archived source code for research
When to avoid
- you need a working live debugging tool today
- you require vendor support or updates
- you want an actively maintained observability solution
