Debugging

Lightrun AI Autonomous Debugger

This video showcases how with Lightrun developer observability platform, developers can leverage the AI debugger within the platform plugin to swiftly identify critical code level issues through automated hypothesis and insertion of debugging actions at runtime (Lightrun dynamic logs, virtual breakpoints (Snapshots) and more. That helps reduce MTTR to mere minutes.

Sequential-storage Efficiently Store Data in Flash

While using a full-blown filesystem for storing your data in non-volatile memory is common practice, those filesystems are often too big, not to mention annoying to use, for the things I want to do. My solution? I’ve been hard at work creating the sequential-storage crate. In this blog post I’d like to go over what it is, why I created it and what it does.

Common Errors in Next.js Caching

Caching is one of the big draws for people using the Next.js framework. Its on-by-default, “just works” nature sets you up for high performance applications right out of the gate. However, improving web performance comes at the cost of a complex caching system. This complexity is a source silent errors in the form of stale and incorrect data. Next.js does its best to choose the right caching behavior for each page.

Debugging Python Cold Starts with Sentry Profiling and improving our P99 latency by several seconds

At Sentry, we don't just build debugging tools for developers—we use them ourselves. This story demonstrates how we leveraged our own platform to solve a mysterious performance issue that was causing significant latency spikes in our critical infrastructure which is used in nearly every backend request.

Debugging a Django Application

Debugging Django applications can be challenging, but it’s key to keeping your app running smoothly in production. From unexpected bugs to performance slowdowns, finding and fixing issues efficiently keeps users happy and reduces downtime. For example, when an error occurs on a critical page, like a checkout page, identifying the issue quickly is crucial to avoid disrupting user transactions.

Debugging Kubernetes pod pending failures

Every pod has its purpose. During an application deployment, all the workloads in the cluster work cohesively and ensure that the deployment launches—without any hiccups. When a pod is created, it starts its lifetime in a Pending state. A pod is in the Pending state when it is still in the process of being scheduled for deployment. When it is scheduled for deployment and the containers have started, it converts to the Running phase. It only takes a few seconds for the phase transition.

Master debugging with four ways to visualize your traces

In a world where microservices rule and distributed architectures are the norm, understanding how a single request flows through your system can be an overwhelming challenge. But don’t worry—there’s light at the end of the tunnel! And not just one light, but four.

Embedded World North America 2024 Recap

Last week, a handful of Memfolks had the opportunity to travel to Austin to attend the first ever Embedded World North America1! Embedded World NA welcomed 3,500 visitors and 180 vendors across 3 days2. While it was surely a smaller showing than Nueremburg’s Embedded World, we still wanted to quickly touch on our takeaways from the event. In this post, we will cover what we learned from the first Embedded World North America.
