if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development') {
formats.push(winston.format.colorize());
formats.push(winston.format.printf(this.devFormat));
}
const transports = [
new winston.transports.Console({
level: this.level,
handleExceptions: true,
handleRejections: true,

];
// Add file transport for debugging
if (process.env.DEBUG_LOG_FILE) {
transports.push(
new winston.transports.File({
filename: process.env.DEBUG_LOG_FILE,
level: 'debug',
maxsize: 10485760, // 10MB
maxFiles: 5,

);
}
// Add Elasticsearch for production
if (process.env.ELASTICSEARCH_URL) {
transports.push(

},
transports,
});
}
devFormat(info) {
const { timestamp, level, message, ...meta } = info;
const metaString = Object.keys(meta).length ?
'\n' + JSON.stringify(meta, null, 2) : '';
return `${timestamp} [${level}]: ${message}${metaString}`;
}
// Debug-specific methods
trace(message, meta = {}) {
const stack = new Error().stack;

return {
...context,
duration: Date.now() - context.startTime,

5. Source Map Configuration
Set up source map support for production debugging:
Source Map Setup
// webpack.config.js
module.exports = {
mode: 'production',
devtool: 'hidden-source-map', // Generate source maps but don't reference them
output: {
filename: '[name].[contenthash].js',

});
return {

);
return {
increasing,
delta,
rate: delta / (last.timestamp - first.timestamp) * 1000 * 60, // MB per minute
};
}
}
7. Debug Configuration Management
Centralize debug configurations:
Debug Configuration
// debug-config.js
class DebugConfiguration {
constructor() {
this.config = {
// Debug levels
levels: {
error: 0,
warn: 1,
info: 2,
debug: 3,
trace: 4,
},
// Feature flags
features: {
remoteDebugging: process.env.ENABLE_REMOTE_DEBUG === 'true',
tracing: process.env.ENABLE_TRACING === 'true',
profiling: process.env.ENABLE_PROFILING === 'true',
memoryMonitoring: process.env.ENABLE_MEMORY_MONITORING === 'true',
},
// Debug endpoints
endpoints: {
jaeger: process.env.JAEGER_ENDPOINT || 'http://localhost:14268',
elasticsearch: process.env.ELASTICSEARCH_URL || 'http://localhost:9200',
sentry: process.env.SENTRY_DSN,
},
// Sampling rates
sampling: {
traces: parseFloat(process.env.TRACE_SAMPLING_RATE || '0.1'),
profiles: parseFloat(process.env.PROFILE_SAMPLING_RATE || '0.01'),
logs: parseFloat(process.env.LOG_SAMPLING_RATE || '1.0'),
},
};
}
isEnabled(feature) {
return this.config.features[feature] || false;
}
getLevel() {
const level = process.env.DEBUG_LEVEL || 'info';
return this.config.levels[level] || 2;
}
shouldSample(type) {
const rate = this.config.sampling[type] || 1.0;
return Math.random() < rate;
}
}
// Debug middleware factory
class DebugMiddlewareFactory {
static create(app, config) {
const middlewares = [];
if (config.isEnabled('tracing')) {
const tracingMiddleware = new TracingMiddleware();
middlewares.push(tracingMiddleware.express());
}
if (config.isEnabled('profiling')) {
middlewares.push(this.profilingMiddleware());
}
if (config.isEnabled('memoryMonitoring')) {
const detector = new MemoryLeakDetector();
detector.start();
}
// Debug routes
if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development') {
app.get('/debug/heap', (req, res) => {
const profiler = new PerformanceProfiler();
const path = profiler.takeHeapSnapshot('manual');
res.json({ heapSnapshot: path });
});
app.get('/debug/profile', async (req, res) => {
const profiler = new PerformanceProfiler();
const id = profiler.startCPUProfile('manual');
setTimeout(() => {
const result = profiler.stopCPUProfile(id);
res.json(result);
}, 10000);
});
app.get('/debug/metrics', (req, res) => {
res.json({
memory: process.memoryUsage(),
cpu: process.cpuUsage(),
uptime: process.uptime(),
});
});
}
return middlewares;
}
static profilingMiddleware() {
const profiler = new PerformanceProfiler();
return (req, res, next) => {
if (Math.random() < 0.01) { // 1% sampling
const id = profiler.startCPUProfile(`request-${Date.now()}`);
res.on('finish', () => {
profiler.stopCPUProfile(id);
});
}
next();
};
}
}
8. Production Debugging
Enable safe production debugging:
Production Debug Tools
// production-debug.js
class ProductionDebugger {
constructor(options = {}) {
this.enabled = process.env.PRODUCTION_DEBUG === 'true';
this.authToken = process.env.DEBUG_AUTH_TOKEN;
this.allowedIPs = (process.env.DEBUG_ALLOWED_IPS || '').split(',');
}
middleware() {
return (req, res, next) => {
if (!this.enabled) {
return next();
}
// Check authorization
const token = req.headers['x-debug-token'];
const ip = req.ip || req.connection.remoteAddress;
if (token !== this.authToken || !this.allowedIPs.includes(ip)) {
return next();
}
// Add debug headers
res.setHeader('X-Debug-Enabled', 'true');
// Enable debug mode for this request
req.debugMode = true;
req.debugContext = new DebugContext().create(req.id);
// Override console for this request
const originalConsole = { ...console };
['log', 'debug', 'info', 'warn', 'error'].forEach(method => {
console[method] = (...args) => {
req.debugContext.log(req.id, method, args[0], args.slice(1));
originalConsole[method](...args);
};
});
// Restore console on response
res.on('finish', () => {
Object.assign(console, originalConsole);
// Send debug info if requested
if (req.headers['x-debug-response'] === 'true') {
const debugInfo = req.debugContext.export(req.id);
res.setHeader('X-Debug-Info', JSON.stringify(debugInfo));
}
});
next();
};
}
}
// Conditional breakpoints in production
class ConditionalBreakpoint {
constructor(condition, callback) {
this.condition = condition;
this.callback = callback;
this.hits = 0;
}
check(context) {
if (this.condition(context)) {
this.hits++;
// Log breakpoint hit
console.debug('Conditional breakpoint hit', {
condition: this.condition.toString(),
hits: this.hits,
context,
});
// Execute callback
if (this.callback) {
this.callback(context);
}
// In production, don't actually break
if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production') {
// Take snapshot instead
const profiler = new PerformanceProfiler();
profiler.takeHeapSnapshot(`breakpoint-${Date.now()}`);
} else {
// In development, use debugger
debugger;
}
}
}
}
// Usage
const breakpoints = new Map();
// Set conditional breakpoint
breakpoints.set('high-memory', new ConditionalBreakpoint(
(context) => context.memoryUsage > 500 * 1024 * 1024, // 500MB
(context) => {
console.error('High memory usage detected', context);
// Send alert
alerting.send('high-memory', context);
}
));
// Check breakpoints in code
function checkBreakpoints(context) {
breakpoints.forEach(breakpoint => {
breakpoint.check(context);
});
}

3. Structured Logging Implementation
Implement comprehensive structured logging:
Advanced Logger
// structured-logger.ts
import winston from 'winston';
import { ElasticsearchTransport } from 'winston-elasticsearch';
class StructuredLogger {
private logger: winston.Logger;
constructor(config: LoggerConfig) {
this.logger = winston.createLogger({

winston.format.timestamp(),
winston.format.errors({ stack: true }),
winston.format.metadata(),
winston.format.json()
),
defaultMeta: {
service: config.service,
environment: config.environment,
version: config.version
},
transports: this.createTransports(config)
});
}
private createTransports(config: LoggerConfig): winston.transport[] {
const transports: winston.transport[] = [];
// Console transport for development
if (config.environment === 'development') {
transports.push(new winston.transports.Console({

});
// Elasticsearch transport for production
if (config.elasticsearch) {

}
4. Error Alerting Configuration
Set up intelligent alerting:
Alert Manager
# alert_manager.py

5. Error Grouping and Deduplication
Implement intelligent error grouping:
Error Grouping Algorithm
import hashlib
import re
from difflib import SequenceMatcher
class ErrorGrouper:

6. Performance Impact Tracking
Monitor performance impact of errors:
Performance Monitor
// performance-monitor.ts
interface PerformanceMetrics {
responseTime: number;
errorRate: number;

7. Error Recovery Strategies
Implement automatic error recovery:
