We all know Datadog. It’s a powerful and established tool that developers, DevOps, and SREs use for anything ranging from monitoring their application’s performance and searching their logs to having an end-to-end understanding of the environment. The nature of cloud-native applications makes the three pillars of observability – (Metrics, Logs, Traces) – needed more than ever to get visibility into your application.

We are honored to announce that Rookout, the world’s leading dynamic observability and debugging platform, has been recognized by Gartner as a Cool Vendor, based on the October 11 2021 report titled “Cool Vendors in Monitoring and Observability – Modernize Legacy, Prepare for Tomorrow” by Padraig Byrne.

Debugging is hard. Cloud debugging is harder. Debugging Kubernetes and Serverless applications sometimes feels nearly impossible when: These classic remote debugging challenges have made the world of cloud debugging seem impossible at times and has given rise to the practice of Observability. The rise of the Observability trend in recent years has directed engineers towards one direction to solving these problems: print logs, print traces, throw exceptions.

Production debugging in its current form is a relatively new area of technology that aims to make it easier for developers to solve problems in their code. More often than not, we don’t have all the information we need to solve those hard to reproduce bugs. This leads to long hours of debugging, adding more log lines, and creating separate reproduction environments to try to isolate and reproduce problems.

Welcome fellow developer, I can see you’ve traveled a long road, why don’t you stay a while and listen? I’ve got some fantastic stories to share; Lessons to imbue your debugging skills with power and wisdom, adding at least 1000 XP to take you to the next level and make your future travels much safer. Hmm, now, where should we start? Have you already faced the terrifying Heisenbugs? They are truly fantastic.

When people hear the term "Node.js Debugging," they immediately think of the function "console.log()." They also assumed that's how pros debug Node.js applications. Nah!!! That's not good enough, mate. You'll need more than the console.log() function to debug your Node.js application like a pro. If the proper technique is not taken before testing, debugging a Node.js application might be difficult. Testing is an essential part of the development process for any application, software, or website.
