Production debugging is hard, and it’s getting harder. With architectures becoming more distributed and code more asynchronous and reactive, pinpointing and resolving errors that happen in production is no child’s game.

This session covers some essential tools and more advanced techniques Java and Scala developers can use to debug live applications and resolve errors quickly. It explores five crucial techniques for distributed debugging - and some of the pitfalls that make resolution much harder, and can even lead to downtime.

The talk also touches on some little-known JVM tools and capabilities that give you super-deep visibility into a live application without making you restart it or attach a debugger.
