Product Updates 💻
Search Recordings of Your Running Code with Our New Inspect Command Feature
Searching code files is easy. But knowing where code, web services, dependencies and SQL are being used when code is actually running isn’t so easy. Our new Inspect Command feature indexes and scans AppMap Data to search recordings of your running code, so you can figure out:
- Where misbehaving queries are coming from in the code
- Which code is using which tables
- How to refactor code or tables into microservices
- Which web service routes are using a dependency (like a cloud API, email provider or security service)
Give it a try for yourself! Inspect Command is available in AppMap for Ruby, Java and Python.
AppMap 💙JS - So We’re Spreading the Love with AppMap for JavaScript and TypeScript!
We’re thrilled to share that AppMap for JavaScript and TypeScript is available for AppMap superfans and early adopters! If you’ve always dreamed of having a comprehensive view of your code’s runtime behavior so you can better understand and improve the code quality of your JavaScript / TypeScript / Node.js app, please get in touch with us. Laurent, our resident JS wizard, would love your help testing before we release the beta in mid-November, so we’ll set you up if you’d like to give it a spin!

Notable Content ✍
We’re constantly publishing new content on our doc site, company blog and Dev.to. Here’s some notable content from the past month:
- Our latest Community Profile interview with Hillary Kiptoo, a Ruby and JavaScript developer at Powwater who uses AppMap to quickly understand what kind of tech stack he’s dealing with and how everything interacts with one another.
- New documentation for our Inspect Command feature
- A blog post + video on how to use AppMap to detect and fix the N+1 anti-pattern for Java Spring framework applications
- A Hackernoon post by Kevin on how to make JSONB data even more effective
Also in content-related news, we found this post (and survey) by Chris Grams, about how developers use open source software today and what’s holding them back, interesting. Also worth a look: another great post by OpenView that frames the different market segments of dev tools and the Consortium for Information & Software Quality’s latest report on the cost of poor software quality in the U.S. Spoiler alert: it totals $2.08 trillion! 😱
