Debugging Application Errors

In Production

Do not run the development server, or enable the built-in debugger, in a production environment. The debugger allows executing arbitrary Python code from the browser. It’s protected by a pin, but that should not be relied on for security.

Use an error logging tool, such as Sentry, as described in error-logging-tools, or enable logging and notifications as described in /logging.

If you have access to the server, you could add some code to start an external debugger if request.remote_addr matches your IP. Some IDE debuggers also have a remote mode so breakpoints on the server can be interacted with locally. Only enable a debugger temporarily.
