The distributed services (or, microservices) debugging is a pain. If you've ever tried to debug more than 2 services working together, you can't forget all the suffering you went through.

Squash - is quite promising project that allows you to debug microservices from your IDE. Yes, you understand it right: you just set breakpoints in your code and debug running distrubuted services as usually, line by line. At the moment it works only with VS Code.

​​wuzz - (★ 8,022) is an interactive cli tool for HTTP inspection. It is similar to curl but with handy CLI interface.

Wuzz command line arguments are similar to cURL's arguments, so it can be used to inspect/modify requests copied from the browser's network inspector with the "copy as cURL" feature.

#cli #terminal #debug #curl

​​tunnelto.dev - (★ 4.5k at GitHub) - lets you expose your locally running web server via a public URL. Written in Rust. Built completely with async-io on top of tokio.

If you want to expose your localhost for debugging or demonstration purposes, the default option was ngrok. Tunnelto is a simpler, open-source alternative that you can host yourself.

When you run the command tunnelto --port 8000, your localhost is exposed at the tunnelto.dev URL. However, you can also set up your private server and deploy it with any URL you choose.
