US Patent 11829278 Secure debugging in multitenant cloud environment

A method for secure debugging in a multitenant cloud environment where an application server maintains a host application shared by multiple tenant users can be implemented. The method can receive a request from a tenant user to debug the host application associated with a tenant user, and responsive to the request, deploy an application runtime environment comprising an application container encapsulating the host application associated with the tenant user and a debugger container encapsulating a debugging software running on the application server. The method can set at least a breakpoint in source code of the host application through a user interface of the debugging software, run the host application associated with the tenant user in the application runtime environment, and evaluate an expression entered through the user interface of the debugging software after the host application associated with the tenant user hits the breakpoint.
