Sprkl

What is Sprkl?

Sprkl is a Personal Observability platform that provides personalized feedback on your code changes while coding in the IDE. Sprkl helps ship correct and efficient code while spending less time on debugging, code review, and frustrating rework. Powered by OpenTelemetry, Sprkl instruments every code change and provides feedback about their execution.
