Memory profilers, call graphs, exception reports, and telemetry (nuanced.dev)
To meaningfully solve problems, developers aggregate context from several disparate sources that live both within and outside code. This context is often scattered across a daunting array of tools that developers navigate daily: from the AWS Console's labyrinth of services to Kubernetes' multi-layered configs, Datadog's dense metric displays to distributed traces spanning dozens of services. Each tool demands its own expertise, creating constant context-switching that interrupts flow and drains productivity [1].
