Best Debugging Tools for Kubernetes

Shoreline is the Cloud Reliability platform — the only platform that lets DevOps engineers build automations in an afternoon, and fix issues forever. Shoreline reduces on-call complexity by running across clouds, Kubernetes clusters, and VMs allowing operators to manage their entire fleet as if it were a single box. Debugging and repairing issues is easy with advanced tooling for your best SREs, automated runbooks for the broader team, and a platform that makes building automations 30X faster. Shoreline does the heavy lifting, setting up monitors and building repair scripts, so that customers only need to configure them for their environment. Shoreline’s modern “Operations at the Edge” architecture runs efficient agents in the background of all monitored hosts. Agents run as a DaemonSet on Kubernetes or an installed package on VMs (apt, yum). The Shoreline backend is hosted by Shoreline in AWS, or deployed in your AWS virtual private cloud.

Polar Signals cloud is an always-on, zero-instrumentation continuous profiling product that helps improve performance, understand incidents, and lower infrastructure costs. With just one command and the easiest onboarding guide you’ll ever see, you can start saving costs and optimizing performance in your infrastructure. Travel back in time to pinpoint incidents and issues. Profiling data provides unique insight and depth into what a process executed over time. Utilize profiling data collected over time to confidently and statistically identify hot paths for optimization. Many organizations have 20-30% of resources wasted with code paths that could be easily optimized. Polar Signals Cloud employs an exceptional blend of technologies, purpose-built to deliver the profiling toolset essential for today's evolving infrastructure and applications. With a zero instrumentation setup, deploy immediately and reap the benefits of actionable observability data.

Rookout is a live data collection and debugging platform, which allows software engineers to understand and debug any application no matter where it’s running - from monoliths to cloud native applications. Rookout empowers engineers to reduce debugging and logging time by 80%, solving customer issues 5x faster. With the use of Non-Breaking Breakpoints, software engineers get the data they need instantly, without additional coding, restarts, or redeployment of their application required.With Rookout, developers are able to understand any piece of code. Being able to extract the data you need, from any line of code, allows devs to understand their code and makes collaboration and handoffs easier.

Add logs, metrics and traces to production and staging, directly from your IDE or CLI, in real-time and on-demand. Boost productivity and gain 100% code-level observability with Lightrun. Insert logs and metrics in real-time even while the service is running. Debug monolith microservices, Kubernetes, Docker Swarm, ECS, Big Data workers, serverless, and more. Quickly add a missing logline, instrument a metric, or place a snapshot to be taken on demand. No need to replicate the production environment or re-deploy. Once the instrumentation is invoked, the data is printed to the log analysis tool, your IDE, or to an APM of your choice. Analyze code behavior to find bottlenecks and errors without stopping the running process. Easily add large amounts of logs, snapshots, counters, timers, function durations, and more. You won’t stop or break the system. Spend less time debugging and more time coding. No more restarting, redeploying and reproducing when debugging.

BotKube is a messaging bot for monitoring and debugging Kubernetes clusters. It's built and maintained by InfraCloud. BotKube can be integrated with multiple messaging platforms like Slack, Mattermost, Microsoft Teams to help you monitor your Kubernetes cluster(s), debug critical deployments and gives recommendations for standard practices by running checks on the Kubernetes resources. BotKube watches Kubernetes resources and sends a notification to the channel if any event occurs for example ImagePullBackOff error. You can customize the objects and level of events you want to get from the Kubernetes cluster. You can turn on/off notifications. BotKube can execute kubectl commands on the Kubernetes cluster without giving access to Kubeconfig or underlying infrastructure. With BotKube you can debug your deployment, services or anything about your cluster right from your messaging window.
