10 Critical Kubernetes Tools And How To Debug Them

Kubernetes is both revolutionary and “diffusionary.” It is a complete restructuring demanding a whole new slew of companion and support tools to cover and prop up the entire ecosystem. There are literally hundreds of tools – both open-source and proprietary – designed specifically with k8s in mind. Choosing your Kubernetes tech stack seems arduous – the ecosystem is huge. A comprehensive list of all the tools and their debugging methods is beyond the scope of this particular article. Developer-first observability demands simplifying this cacophony of tools. Getting a complete picture of and debugging your Kubernetes deployment requires an overarching tool and strategy…

Three Things To Know Before Debugging Your Spring Application

Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it. Brian W. Kernigham Debugging is hard, and in some places—like in the cloud, production, or Java Spring—it’s even harder. Moreover, debugging isn’t just about finding or fixing bugs in code. It also allows developers to better understand existing codebases by allowing them to see the flow of the entire application when starting work on a project they’ve just joined, or to refresh their memory before beginning to…

Using LogDNA To Debug In Development

Developing scalable and reliable applications is a serious business. It requires precision, accuracy, effective teamwork, and convenient tooling. During the software construction phase, developers employ numerous techniques to debug and resolve issues within their programs. One of these techniques is to leverage monitoring and logging libraries to discover how the application behaves in edge cases or under load. Centralized logging gives users access to the information that they need to effectively debug during the development process and LogDNA makes it easy to retain subsets of logs to meet different teams needs. For instance, developers often need access to a true…

Learn To Debug Code With The GNU Debugger

The GNU Debugger, more commonly known by its command, gdb, is an interactive console to help you step through source code, analyze what gets executed, and essentially reverse-engineer what’s going wrong in a buggy application. The trouble with troubleshooting is that it’s complex. GNU Debugger isn’t exactly a complex application, but it can be overwhelming if you don’t know where to start or even when and why you might need to turn to GDB to do your troubleshooting. If you’ve been using print, echo, or printf statements to debug your code, but you’re beginning to suspect there may be something more powerful, then this tutorial is…

Intel Machine Programming Tool Detects Bugs In Code

Intel unveiled ControlFlag – a machine programming research system that can autonomously detect errors in code. Even in its infancy, this novel, self-supervised system shows promise as a powerful productivity tool to assist software developers with the labor-intensive task of debugging. In preliminary tests, ControlFlag trained and learned novel defects on over 1 billion unlabeled lines of production-quality code. “We think ControlFlag is a powerful new tool that could dramatically reduce the time and money required to evaluate and debug code. According to studies, software developers spend approximately 50% of the time debugging. With ControlFlag, and systems like it, I…
