  Rookout is a live application debugging platform founded in 2017 in Tel Aviv,
  Israel that lets developers set non-breaking breakpoints in running
  production, staging, and development applications to capture full-stack debug
  data — variables, stack traces, logs, and metrics — without redeploying,
  restarting, or stopping services. Rookout pioneered the "live debugger"
  category for cloud-native and Kubernetes-hosted applications and shipped
  language agents/SDKs for Python, Java/JVM, Node.js, .NET, Go, and Ruby that
  attach to running processes and stream snapshots back to the Rookout web IDE
  or developer's IDE. Dynatrace announced its acquisition of Rookout on
  July 31, 2023 and closed the deal in Q2 of Dynatrace's fiscal year ending
  September 30, 2023. The standalone Rookout product has since been folded
  into the Dynatrace platform as the Dynatrace Live Debugger (and Live
  Logger), and the rookout.com and docs.rookout.com domains now redirect to
  dynatrace.com. There is no public REST API, OpenAPI specification, webhook
  catalog, or CLI for Rookout — the developer surface consists entirely of
  language agents, deployment integration examples, IDE extensions, and the
  Explorook desktop helper that exposes local source folders to the Rookout
  web debugger. The Rookout GitHub organization remains public and continues
  to maintain those agents, tutorials, and integration samples under
  Apache-2.0.
