Patent attributes
Provided are systems and methods for remotely debugging a software application hosted on a cloud platform. Rather than download and test code locally, a developer may login directly to the cloud platform, and debug the software application in its native cloud environment. In one example, the method may include establishing a communication channel between a remote computing terminal and an application instance hosted on a cloud platform, enabling port forwarding at the remote computing terminal to redirect requests from the remote computing terminal to the application instance hosted on the cloud platform via the communication channel, attaching a debugger to a port at the remote computing terminal that is associated with the communication channel, and forwarding, via the debugger, debugging commands input at the remote computing terminal to the application instance hosted on the cloud platform via the communication channel.
