dbg
An Elixir library providing functions for tracing events in the BEAM VM across a cluster of nodes.
What is dbg?
Dbg is an Elixir library that provides functions for tracing events in the BEAM virtual machine. It allows developers to monitor function calls, message passing, process spawning, and other runtime events across distributed nodes, helping identify issues and understand system behavior in Elixir applications.
Elixir developers working on complex or distributed applications who need advanced debugging and runtime analysis capabilities beyond basic logging.
Dbg offers a clean Elixir interface to the powerful but low-level tracing capabilities of the BEAM VM, making it easier to perform sophisticated debugging across entire clusters without needing deep Erlang/OTP expertise.
