At LightStep, our mission is to deliver confidence at scale for those who develop, operate, and rely upon today’s powerful software applications. We created LightStep because we understand the massive architectural transformation underway in the software industry, where companies are migrating away from monolithic architectures to distributed architectures and microservices. We see an opportunity to accelerate this transition in software development while improving the quality of the developer and end-user experience. Our story as individuals and as a company revolves around continuous learning, careful listening, and the belief that these fundamentally new software architectures require fundamentally new solutions.
