Spring Persistence Tutorial

JPA can behave very differently depending on the exact circumstances under which it is used. Code that works in our local environment or in staging performs very poorly (or even flat out fails) when thrown against real-scale databases in production environments.

Debugging these JPA issues in production is pretty difficult - existing APMs don’t provide enough granular insights at the code level, and tracking every single place someone queried entities one by one instead of in bulk can be a grueling, time-consuming task.

Lightrun is a new approach to debugging in production. Using Lightrun’s Logs and Snapshots, you can now get debugger-level granularity in production without opening inbound ports, redeploying, restarting, or even stropping the running application.

In addition, instrumenting Lightrun Metrics at runtime allows you to track down persistence issues securely and in real-time. Want to see it in action? Check out our 2-minute tutorial for debugging JPA performance issues in production using Lightrun:
