Debugging Azure Functions Locally

Azure Functions are great for running bits of processing on a trigger without having to worry about hosting. Recently, I needed to debug an Azure Function—I needed to hunt down a particularly evasive bug that wasn’t showing up in the unit and integration tests. As it turns out, debugging an Azure Function isn’t as trivial as simply running the debugger in Visual Studio. Instead, it requires some setup to replicate the environment and configuration typically available in Azure.

Using LogDNA To Troubleshoot In Production

In 1946, a moth found its way to a relay of the Mark II computer in the Computation Laboratory where Grace Hopper was employed. Since that time, software engineers and operations specialists have been plagued by “bugs.” In the age of DevOps, we can catch many bugs before they escape into a production environment. Still, occasionally they do, and they can spawn all kinds of unexpected problems when they do.

For example, developers would require detailed and accurate logs when building and implementing services locally or in remote environments so that they can test new features.

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.
