If you’ve been building embedded systems for a while, chances are you know Percepio for Tracealyzer. And we’re proud of that. For over a decade, Tracealyzer has been helping engineers visualize and solve complex RTOS issues faster, with over 30 ways to slice and understand system behavior.
But in 2025, embedded systems demand more. They’re always on. Always connected. And increasingly, always business-critical. Debugging after a failure is no longer enough—especially when the failure is rare, timing-sensitive, or appears only during integration or field operation.
That’s why we built Percepio Detect—and why we believe it’s time to move from powerful point tools to a continuous observability strategy, aligning with the emerging best practice of Observability Driven Development (ODD).
Percepio’s Continuous Observability means:
- Your system can detect anomalies and capture trace data automatically.
- Your CI pipeline becomes smarter with every build.
- Your team gets alerts, snapshots, and trace files—before the field reports come in.
In short: Tracealyzer helps you see. Detect helps your system notice. Used together, they form a feedback loop across your entire product lifecycle—from lab to deployment—empowering faster fixes, stronger designs, and fewer surprises.
Our new white paper explains the concept, shows a real-world case study, and shares how Detect and Tracealyzer work in tandem. I hope it inspires you to take the next step toward Continuous Observability. We’ll be there, providing advice and support throughout your observability journey!
