How Digma Works

Unlike traditional observability tools for DevOps, Digma is a Continuous Feedback tool focused on helping developers write performant code.

An IDE Plugin

Digma installs as an IDE marketplace plugin and runs in the development environment.

All data stays local

Digma is not a cloud service and runs locally on a laptop or within your private cloud.

No code changes required

Digma requires no code changes or observability prerequisites and is OTEL-compliant.

No public AI is used

Digma avoids using public AI systems that share data outside your organization.

Turns Observability Data Into Insights

Digma uses OpenTelemetry behind the scenes to collect data (traces, logs, and metrics) about your code when you run it locally. You can also easily forward test and production data to Digma.

How It Works - Container 4

After collecting the data, Digma analyzes it to detect meaningful insights about the code. It looks for regressions, anomalies, code smells, or other patterns that can be useful to know about the code and use in development. Effectively, Digma shortens the feedback cycle for developers.

Frequently Asked Questions

We don’t compete with any tool existing today because there isn’t any other tool that generates this type of feedback and delivers it in context. We do work very well together with other tools looking at the same data, like Jaeger and Prometheus, as well as traditional observability tools like Datadog or Splunk.

There are plenty of tools that offer troubleshooting or debugging capabilities after an issue is already identified, or give some raw realtime data. However, Digma is fundamentally different because we turn raw data into usable insights, and make those insights easily accessible to developers so they can take a proactive (not reactive) approach to optimization.

Yes! Here’s an example app with more coming soon.

Absolutely not! We rely on the OpenTelemetry vanilla instrumentation with a few added attributes of our own. We leave your code untouched.

No. It uses your production data to generate real insights – not predictions.

No code changes are necessary. Digma can be set up within minutes as an IDE plugin.

Digma runs all observability analytics locally on your machine via Docker containers. It is not a SaaS service and does not upload observability data.

Digma is free when deployed locally on a laptop. However, it is not free when connected to a central environment.
