InfluxDB
Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
For instance, https://github.com/aviatesk/JET.jl is still in its relative infancy, but it's played a big role in detecting quite a few potential bugs that had never been reported to use by users or caught in our testing infrastructure. There's also been a lot developments like interfaces to RR the time travelling debugger https://rr-project.org/ which helps us better understand and catch some very hard to debug non-deterministic bugs.
Yes, tooling around this is being developed in the form of linters (e.g. https://github.com/julia-vscode/StaticLint.jl) and through real compiler integration tools like the very cool https://aviatesk.github.io/JET.jl/dev/ but this is definitely somewhere that the tooling in julia is weaker than in other languages. It seems to be picking up a lot of speed though.
