Debugging Your Node.js Apps
summary
Demos show concrete features: zero-config auto attach hooks the Node inspector (default port 9229) for ~70–80% of standard apps, npm‑script launch recipes run and attach, and log points inject console output without changing code so no rebuilds or Docker redeploys that can take 5–10 minutes. Also shows docker attach with localRoot→remoteRoot mapping, relative‑file debugging to run focused scripts, inline breakpoints for arrow functions, and a GitHub repo README with step‑by‑step recipes.
