Cloud Native Debugging in Production - Dig Deep into your agents
summary
Demonstrates using continuous observability with a Lightroom agent wired into Nomad to inject logs, capture snapshots (non‑breaking breakpoints), and emit metrics from running JVM, Node, and Python services with IDE integration (IntelliJ/VS Code). Builds a movie-service demo (React + Node + Spring Boot), uses conditional snapshots to find a cache corruption caused by Spring’s caching gotcha, shows throttling to avoid overload, and reports that the approach works with low runtime overhead and PII controls.
