How Lightrun Works
Lightrun is a 3-tier platform:
- The Lightrun Client (IDE Plugin/CLI) allows developers to add new logs, snapshotsand metrics
- The Lightrun SDK™ is bundled with every live application instance and is in chargeof instrumenting the live application with new telemetry
- The Lightrun Management Server holds the state of the system and provides aninterface for administrators to configure Lightrun’s privacy and security controls
The Lightrun Client
All Lightrun Actions can be added from any supported Lightrun client, which include:
- Plugins for all major JetBrains IDEs, including IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm and WebStorm
- Visual Studio Code Extension
- VS Code for the Web Extension
- A fully-featured CLI
The Lightrun SDK™
The Lightrun SDK™ instruments Lightrun Actions inside running applications, periodically connecting to the Lightrun Management Server in order to request commands.
Every Lightrun SDK™ comes pre-packaged with the Lightrun Sandbox™, which ensures the stability, integrity and performance of your live application are maintained.
The Lightrun Management Server
The Lightrun Management Server is the intermediary between the Lightrun SDK™ and the Lightrun clients. It is in charge of coordinating Lightrun Actions as well as privacy and security controls, including PII redaction, blocklisting, RBAC and a system-wide audit trail.
Note: the Lightrun Management Server never processes, stores or sends your source code to any third party.
How it Works
Step 1
Myrror’s technology reverses your binary code into a source version, including the dependencies within the binaries.
Step 2
Our machine learning models compare your source code you wrote, to the version generated from your binary code, looking for unexpected strings of code in the compiled version.
Step 3
You will receive a notification in real-time when a discrepancy is found, so you can stop the compromised package from reaching production and your customers.
