This reference provides comprehensive troubleshooting guidance for runtime issues, best practices for environment isolation, and solutions to common problems.

Best Practices for Runtime Isolation

1. Use Separate Environments

Using separate environments for development, testing, and production allows working on solution configurations and features without affecting the runtime environment. Changes made during development are not reflected in the runtime environment until they have been tested and deployed.

2. Use Containers

Technologies like Docker enable developers to create isolated containers for different parts of the solution. This approach ensures that modifications in one container do not impact the runtime environment in other containers.

3. Use Version Control

Implementing version control helps manage solution configurations and code changes. This method allows developers to experiment with configurations, roll back to previous versions, and track changes without affecting the runtime environment.

4. Use Access Control

Access control mechanisms restrict modifications to the runtime environment and configuration settings. This ensures that only authorized personnel can make changes, reducing the risk of accidental disruptions or unauthorized access.

Troubleshooting Runtime Issues

Runtime issues can occur during the execution of the application, such as crashes, performance problems, or unexpected behavior.

Troubleshooting Steps

  1. Review the application logs for any error messages or warnings
  2. Use debugging tools to inspect the state of the application at runtime
  3. Monitor system resources, such as CPU, memory, and disk usage, to identify potential bottlenecks or resource constraints
  4. Consult the documentation or support resources for known issues and solutions
  5. Make sure you're using appropriate execution profiles for different stages of the development lifecycle
  6. Apply configuration changes carefully, always testing before deploying to production
  7. Document any custom configurations or modifications for future reference
  8. Keep the runtime environment up to date with security patches and software updates

Common Issues and Solutions

Performance Bottlenecks

Problem: Slow solution execution can be caused by a variety of factors, such as inefficient code or inadequate hardware resources.

Solution: Optimize your code, allocate more resources, or employ parallel processing techniques.

Configuration Errors

Problem: Incorrect settings in the solution configuration can lead to unexpected behavior or failure.

Solution: Review your configuration files, verify the parameters, and ensure they adhere to the documentation.

Runtime Environment Mismatch

Problem: Incompatibilities between development and production environments may cause issues during runtime.

Solution: Ensure that all dependencies are consistent across environments and use containers or virtual machines for environment isolation.

Module Conflicts

Problem: Conflicts between modules can lead to unexpected behavior or crashes.

Solution: Check for duplicate or outdated modules and ensure that your modules are compatible with each other.

Database Connectivity Issues

Problem: Problems connecting to the real-time database can be caused by network issues, incorrect credentials, or misconfigured database settings.

Solution: Verify the database connection settings, ensure the database server is accessible, and check the credentials.

Client-Side Display Errors

Problem: Issues with client-side displays can stem from incompatible browser versions, outdated JavaScript libraries, or improperly configured display settings.

Solution: Ensure your solution supports the target browser versions, update your libraries, and double-check display settings.

Hot Updates Not Applied

Problem: If hot updates are not being applied correctly.

Solution: Confirm that your solution is configured to accept online changes and verify the update mechanism is functioning as expected.

Build and Publish Failures

Problem: Errors during build and publish processes may be due to incorrect settings, code issues, or dependency problems.

Solution: Review the build and publish configuration, fix any code issues, and ensure all dependencies are resolved.
