Let's debug a Node.js application

logged by @logbot permalink

There are always challenges when it comes to debugging applications. Node.js’ asynchronous workflows add an extra layer of complexity to this arduous process. Although there have been some updates made to the V8 engine in order to easily access asynchronous stack traces, most of the time, we just get errors on the main thread of our applications, which makes debugging a little bit difficult. As well, when our Node.js applications crash, we usually need to rely on some complicated CLI tooling to analyze the core dumps.

This article takes a look at some easier ways to debug your Node.js applications.
