Another month, another batch of exciting news to share! Read on to see what we’ve been up to and what we have planned later this summer. For the most timely updates, join our Slack, and follow us on Twitter and LinkedIn.
Product news
AppMap for JetBrains code editors!
You asked, we delivered! AppMap for popular JetBrains code editors – including IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm and RubyMine – are now available in the JetBrains official marketplace. For more detailed info, check out our AppMap for JetBrains documentation.
Remote recording now in code editors
No more having to leave your code editor to record and no more relying on programmatic methods for starting/stopping your recording. Now you can easily record and share AppMaps of complex, backend bugs right in your code editor! Install from the JetBrains or VSCode marketplaces, and read our blog post that includes a quick, 1 minute demo on the new feature.
Doc site updates
Our documentation used to live in multiple GitHub repositories, but now it’s all in one easy-to-navigate location in our new Doc site. Let us know what you think via each page’s feedback button so we can keep improving this content!
JavaScript Agent nearing the finish line…!
It’s not quite ready for the wild, but the official release of AppMap for JavaScript will be here soon! So far, the JavaScript agent can record code execution from popular test frameworks, HTTP requests, SQL commands and more. Send a note to support@appmap.io if you’d like to test it out as an early adopter or design partner, we’d love your feedback!

AppMap livestream debuts
Every Thursday at 1 pm ET the AppMap team now hosts a Livestream on our Slack! Anyone is welcome to join and share their comments, questions and feedback on AppMap products or software development in general. Read about our inaugural Livestream earlier this month that tackled all things code reviews here.
Coming Soon
Enhanced AppMap onboarding in code editors
Using a product for the first time can be intimidating and stressful. To make AppMaps as easy-to-use and useful as possible, we’re building a new onboarding experience that will help new users map their applications in minutes.
Easy AppMap sharing with the AppMap server
This is going to make life A LOT easier: Soon AppMap users will be able to share their AppMaps with their peers and teams directly from their code editor! With just one click, you’ll be able to upload your AppMaps to your AppMap account or attach your AppMaps as a ticket in Jira or GitHub.
