Cloud Native Debugging in Production - Dig Deep into your Agents

See the process of debugging cloud native applications on Nomad in a production setting, and then learn about the tradeoffs and capabilities of today's state of the art.

Production issues are the bane of our industry. These are the most resilient bugs that got through QA, staging, integration, etc. They hit us in the worst possible way. HashiCorp Nomad solves some of the problem through quick recovery, green/blue deploys, etc.

This made servers more resilient over time, but up until now it also made it harder to track ongoing production issues. Continuous observability solves this problem. By instrumenting the agents in production you can securely debug a deployed agent. This maintains the hard won stability and production isolation created by the DevOps team while also giving them R&D tools similar to the ones they use everyday in development. 

This talk will demonstrate the process of debugging cloud native applications in a production setting, and then explain the tradeoffs and capabilities of today's state of the art.
