Server Debugging
Server debugging is the process of identifying, diagnosing, and resolving issues in server-side applications, infrastructure, or configurations that affect performance, availability, or functionality. It involves analyzing logs, monitoring metrics, and using debugging tools to trace errors in server code, network communications, or system resources. This skill is essential for maintaining reliable backend services in web applications, APIs, databases, and cloud environments.
Developers should learn server debugging to ensure application stability and performance, especially when deploying and maintaining production systems where downtime or errors can impact users. It is critical for troubleshooting issues like slow response times, crashes, memory leaks, or security vulnerabilities in server environments. Use cases include debugging REST APIs, microservices, database queries, and server configurations in DevOps or backend development roles.
