What people sometimes fail to realize is that proper testing disciplines can mitigate practically all bugs in production. I haven't seriously used a debugger in 2 years, methinks. So giving developers "X-ray vision" to their servers in production, however innovative, is not a real solution.

This looks interesting, but the lack of any pricing information makes me nervous - am I missing it?

Takipi is in open beta, so it is currently free.

A not unattractive price point, I find. When are you planning to start charging for it?

Since even you admit testing does not eliminate all bugs, there are still cases when defects make it into production. Novel cases do happen, and some can be quite difficult to understand. I can see how this tool could be useful in those situations.

Even if you were the team of mythical coders that foresees every possible corner case and is never under time pressure, you'll probably rely on millions of lines of code written by other organisations, that do contain bugs.

Nothing is final, but we should remain in beta at least until the end of the year.
