Debugging is hard. Cloud debugging is harder. Debugging Kubernetes and Serverless applications sometimes feels nearly impossible when: These classic remote debugging challenges have made the world of cloud debugging seem impossible at times and has given rise to the practice of Observability.

Today, I’m thrilled to announce that Lenses.io is joining Celonis, the leader in execution management. Together we will raise the bar in how businesses are run by driving them with real-time data, making the power of streaming open, operable and actionable for organizations across the world.
