Debugging Microservices & Distributed Systems | Sentry

Gone are the days when you had just a couple of files open in a simple editor and could debug with print(“Here”). Nowadays, even if you’re primarily a frontend developer, you really have to be able to debug errors and performance issues over the entire stack because front end issues often originate in the backend or other services. With a push towards server-side rendering (SSR) and the complex nature of the backend microservices architecture, we’re able to do so much, so quickly, but at the cost of making debugging significantly more challenging. Before you continue building with the best and newest app by calling every single microservice ever created and putting AI everywhere so you can say you’re an “AI- first” company, consider the debuggability of your architecture and the tools you use.
