Redefining Cloud Native Debugging: Challenges and Modern Approaches

Explore the evolving landscape of cloud native debugging in this 18-minute conference talk. Delve into the reasons behind the excitement surrounding cloud technology, examine key statistics and visual representations, and confront the challenges faced in this domain. Analyze traditional debugging approaches, including command line, local, and remote techniques, as well as logging practices. Investigate the concept of differential production blending and its implications. Address the obstacles encountered during debugging processes, and examine the roles of APM tools, exception catching, and live debuggers in modern cloud environments.
