What it is and what it does
google-python-cloud-debugger is a snapshot debugger agent for Python applications running on Linux environments. It allows you to inspect the state of a running application at any code location without stopping it or significantly slowing it down. The agent captures call stacks and local variables from any instance executing a snapshot location, and can also write formatted messages to application logs via logpoints.
The package integrates with Firebase Realtime Database for storing and managing snapshots and logpoints, and depends on firebase-admin and pyyaml. It is designed for production use with minimal performance overhead. However, the project has been archived and is no longer maintained; no further bug fixes or security patches will be released.
Use it for
- Inspect application state in production without restarting or attaching a traditional debugger.
- Capture call stacks and variable values from specific code locations across running instances.
- Add logpoints to write diagnostic messages to application logs without code changes.
- Debug Django web applications by enabling the agent in manage.py.
- Diagnose issues in cloud-hosted Python services without stopping traffic.
