In this chapter, we have learned how to debug Node.js, Python, Java, and .NET code running inside a container. We first started by mounting the source code from the host into the container to avoid a rebuild of the container image each time the code changes. Then, we smoothed out the development process further by enabling automatic application restart inside the container upon code changes. Next, we learned how to configure Visual Studio Code to enable the full interactive debugging of code running inside a container. Finally, we learned how we can instrument our applications such that they generate logging information that can help us to do root cause analysis on failures or misbehaving applications or application services running in production.
In the next chapter, we are going to show how using Docker containers can super-charge your automation, from running a...
