Interactive Production Browser Debugging Without Disrupting Live Users
Traditional debuggers pause the JavaScript thread with breakpoints, freezing the app for everyone. ReMOAT attaches an asynchronous, read-write telemetry channel over WebRTC, letting you evaluate live expressions and inspect DOM nodes in production without disrupting end users.
1. Why Traditional Breakpoints Break Production
Setting a traditional breakpoint in a production environment freezes the V8 execution context. If multiple users share the server or if background heartbeats time out, web sockets disconnect and services crash. ReMOAT provides non-blocking live state inspection: expressions are evaluated in isolated microtasks, streaming results back over an encrypted WebRTC data channel.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does ReMOAT slow down production web apps?
No. ReMOAT’s lightweight SDK is under 5KB gzipped and operates entirely asynchronously over WebRTC DataChannels with less than 0.1% CPU overhead.
