Summary

Developers today face complex challenges in managing code across distributed systems like Kubernetes, where deploying microservices is straightforward, but troubleshooting when issues arise is daunting due to the lack of context. The article differentiates between troubleshooting and debugging, highlighting that while debugging focuses on resolving isolated code issues, troubleshooting is a comprehensive approach aimed at identifying root causes across the entire system, encompassing infrastructure, architecture, and processes. Effective troubleshooting involves a strategic overview and can include debugging as a component, whereas debugging is a more tactical, session-based process aimed at fixing specific bugs. As development teams increasingly take on troubleshooting responsibilities, tools like Komodor provide necessary context to streamline the process, facilitating efficient and independent problem resolution.
