In modern microservice architectures, a bug is rarely in one place. It involves tracing requests across multiple services, databases, and message queues, which is "hard-to-trace" and described as "the worst part of debugging".
# Debugging Complex, Intermittent, or Distributed System Bugs ## Problem Context In modern microservice architectures, a bug is rarely in one place. It involves tracing requests across multiple services, databases, and message queues, which is "hard-to-trace" and described as "the worst part of debugging". ## Solution Pattern: ai-debugging-partner The "AI Debugging Partner": Performs Root Cause Analysis (RCA) by synthesizing stack traces, logs, and code snippets to suggest hypotheses and fixes. ## Multi-Step Workflow This is a multi-step process. Follow each step in order: ### Step 1: Step 1: Provide all context AI receives logs from multiple services, stack traces, and code snippets **Prompt Template:** [Customize this step based on your specific needs] Instructions: - Follow the step description: Step 1: Provide all context - AI receives logs from multiple services, stack traces, and code snippets - Adapt the template to your context - Provide clear, actionable output ### Step 2: Step 2: Root Cause Analysis AI applies "5 Whys" technique and identifies recurring patterns **Prompt Template:** [Customize this step based on your specific needs] Instructions: - Follow the step description: Step 2: Root Cause Analysis - AI applies "5 Whys" technique and identifies recurring patterns - Adapt the template to your context - Provide clear, actionable output ### Step 3: Step 3: Suggest fix AI proposes code fixes for the most likely root cause **Prompt Template:** [Customize this step based on your specific needs] Instructions: - Follow the step description: Step 3: Suggest fix - AI proposes code fixes for the most likely root cause - Adapt the template to your context - Provide clear, actionable output --- *This prompt is part of the Engify.ai research-based prompt library.
