Debugging and monitoring applications
GraalVM comes with a rich set of tools for debugging and monitoring applications. We have already looked at VisualVM and the Ideal Graph Visualizer. As you saw in the previous sections, these two tools are very powerful for detailed analysis. This analysis also provides insights into how we can improve the code at the development time to reduce the load on Graal JIT, and write high-performing and low-footprint Java code. Apart from these two tools, the following are some of the other tools that Graal comes with.
Seafoam
Seafoam is a great alternative for Ideal Graph Visualizer. The following are some of the enahnced capabilities that Seafoam provides over IGV:
- Seafoam is a Open source project, and can be used according to MIT license.
- It provides various export options of the graphs, which is a great convince over IGV.
- It provides a CLI, which helps in running it as part of any automation.
- Seafoam also be used asa library...
