The worst thing about Jenkins is that it works

At a recent job, we had slightly different containers for local dev; our backend containers (for a Go app) had Air [1] installed for live reloading, plus Delve [2] running inside the container for VS Code's debugger to connect to. We also had a frontend container for local dev, which didn't get deployed as a container, just as static files.

My employer has a commercial solution for this but Delve does supports `rr` traces natively for this purpose, which gives a complete open-source solution (https://github.com/go-delve/delve/blob/master/Documentation/usage/dlv_replay.md).

What a good debugger can do
8 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 10 Mar 2023

For time travel debugging in Go:
The Delve debugger for Go supports debugging rr traces: https://github.com/go-delve/delve/blob/master/Documentation/...
Undo (who I work for) maintain a fork that debugs our LiveRecorder recordings: https://docs.undo.io/GoDelve.html
Either rr (https://rr-project.org/) or our UDB debugger (https://undo.io/solutions/products/udb/) can do some time travel debugging of Go programs via GDB's built-in support for Go. I believe its weakness is in support for goroutines, since they don't map well onto its idea of how programs run.
