Rack::Bug is a debugging toolbar for Rack applications, implemented as Rack middleware. It injects a floating diagnostics panel into your app showing logging, SQL queries, template rendering times, cache usage, memory, and request variables.

Use cases

  • inspect SQL queries in a Rails app during development
  • profile template rendering and request timing in a Rack app
  • debug cache and Redis usage from a browser toolbar
  • add custom diagnostic panels to a Sinatra app
  • securely enable a debug toolbar in staging with IP or password restrictions

When to avoid

  • starting a new Rails project - use maintained alternatives like Rails panel gems or newer profilers
  • you need actively maintained tooling or modern Ruby/Rails compatibility
