Diagnose them systematically: gather evidence before touching code, write context-rich logs, use metrics to spot trends, trace requests across services, and verify the deployment itself before blaming your logic. Most of the difficulty comes from self-managed infrastructure — the \"infrastructure tax.\" A PaaS centralizes logs, metrics, and deployment history, eliminating config drift and cutting incident response time.\n \n ","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/KhCapPSRkLGL2Xw8888yuChkNRWthaKapLYTvNdu4W4/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzQxMTY2LzE2ODM1/ODIzMzAtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
