alt Hacker Newsthe missing piece of unikernel is debuggability & observability
- it need to be easy to replicate on dev machine & easy to debug - it needs to integrate well with current obs stack. easy to debug in production.
without clear debuggability & observability, i would never put it into production
This is a common myth. Debugging unikernels is indeed possible[1][2]. It may not be the type of debugging you're already used to, but then again, unikernels are very different from containers and VMs, so some adjustment is expected.
As for observability, why is that the concern of unikernels? That's something your application should do. You're free to hook it up to any observability stack you want.
