Squash is an open-source debugger for microservice applications running on Kubernetes, bridging containers/pods/services to IDEs and terminals. It lets developers set breakpoints, step through code, and inspect or modify variables across distributed services without modifying the applications.
Use cases
- debug microservices running in kubernetes
- set breakpoints in a container in a pod
- step through code across multiple microservices
- inspect and modify variable values at runtime in k8s
- debug a kubernetes service from my IDE
- troubleshoot distributed application state across nodes
When to choose
- you debug microservices deployed on Kubernetes and want real-time interactive debugging
- you need breakpoint/step-through debugging across multiple services rather than passive tracing
- you want to attach debuggers to containers without modifying application code
When to avoid
- your workloads run outside Kubernetes
- you only need post-mortem analysis via logs or distributed tracing
- you need a debugger for a language or IDE Squash does not support
