Shows how to add an interactive REPL-based console to Node.js apps using Node-REPL and Rapple to improve production debugging and control. Covers bootstrapping issues with diverse tooling, building a custom console that can manipulate the database via Objection ORM, plus testing and a sandbox mode for safe interactive debugging; also notes how Adonis (with its ORM and Ace REPL) simplifies this workflow.
