Why the Kotzilla Platform?

In Kotlin app development, identifying and resolving issues effectively across both development and production stages often requires different tools, each with limitations:

1. Android Studio Debugger: While natively integrated into Android Studio, it can be intrusive and challenging to use for complex applications. Debugging multithreaded interactions is difficult, breakpoints can be inconsistent in highly optimized code, and the performance impact makes it impractical for use in production environments.
2. Observability platforms: Most observability tools focus on monitoring production environments and are better suited for crash analysis than for debugging issues related to component lifecycles and multithreading execution. These tools usually require extensive manual logging and tracing to identify and resolve complex issues.

The Kotzilla Platform offers a unified debugging solution for Kotlin apps across both development and production environments, helping you quickly detect and resolve issues like:

• Performance and memory issues such as startup-time issues from long component creation times, frequent recreation of component instances, and multithreaded performance issues.
• Structural issues from complex dependency graphs or misuse of component lifecycles, which can impact future maintenance.
• Crashes in Android or Kotlin Multiplatform apps and SDK libraries.

Key benefits

• Built for Kotlin and Koin The Kotzilla platform is purpose-built for Kotlin and Koin-powered apps. Whether you're developing Android applications, Kotlin Multiplatform projects, or SDK libraries, the Kotzilla Platform is designed to seamlessly integrate with your Koin-based architectures.
• Automatic data capture, no overhead One of the biggest challenges in debugging issues is gathering the right data. But with the Kotzilla Platform, that's handled automatically. The platform taps into Koin's containerization to capture essential app behavior data without the need for manual instrumentation or excessive data collection. This gives you a comprehensive debugging experience with minimal overhead.
• Contextual insights for faster fixes When issues do arise, time is of the essence. The Kotzilla Platform's visualization tools provide accurate context, helping you quickly trace problems and identify the root cause - even in live production environments. You'll be able to pinpoint issues down to specific lines of code, empowering your team to resolve problems faster than ever before.
