AppMaps are files containing data representing the runtime behavior of an application. AppMaps can be displayed as visual maps and sequence diagrams, showing everything that the application did at runtime while AppMap was recording.
AppMaps record all the HTTP requests, function calls, SQL database queries, and other important events that occurred while the application runs.
AppMaps can be analyzed and searched to follow execution traces, locate dependencies, debug behavior, and much more. Developers being onboarded to a new code base can use AppMaps to navigate the application in a visual way.
AppMaps drastically reduce the amount of developer toil required to learn a new code base and become productive.
Once AppMaps are generated, AppMap Analysis will immediately scan those recordings for flaws. AppMap Analysis can find security gaps, performance issues, problematic database queries, reliability issues, and more.
Unlike traditional tools, scans are almost instantaneous. Better yet, where other technologies would only identify that a security issue exists somewhere, AppMap Analysis will also show you exactly where your flaws are located, right in your code editor.
Keeping definitions in sync and up to date with the API's latest behavior is time consuming and error prone. AppMap generates OpenAPI definitions automatically in your code editor or in CI. Save time writing documentation and get back to the development work you love.

See how AppMap can significantly reduce testing times using its knowledge of your application's runtime behavior.
AppMap currently supports applications written in Java, JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, and Ruby.
Supported application framworks include Spring, Jest, Mocha, Next.js, Express.js, Django, and Rails.
AppMap plugins are available for VS Code and JetBrains editors (IntelliJ, PyCharm, WebStorm, and more).
The AppMap code editors provide a highly integrated experience for AppMaps, but maps can also be recorded without the AppMap native editor extensions.
