We're partnering with AppDynamics to bring next-gen developer workflows to the enterprise

We are excited to announce our new partnership with AppDynamics at their global event Transform 2020. Deep Code Insights (DCI) powered by Rookout will be generally available within the AppDynamics platform starting today. ‍ The partnership was a no-brainer: AppDynamics’ APM solution helps developers become aware of problems quickly; Rookout helps developers debug those problems easily. It’s a match made in devops heaven!
