Interactive debugging of Algorand apps using .NET
Algorand can be used as a server side component in your solution architectures.
This makes cheap, fast, transaction processing and storage available in a way that is different to traditional approaches. The main benefit is robust uptime without much of the security overhead. The server components are decentralised and operational costs can be passed directly to the consumer and without many of the server cloud compute fees.
One of the challenges has been debugging Algorand applications. With this initial release, Algorand apps can now be line-by-line debugged interactively using IDEs such as Visual Studio 2022. This tooling requires the Algorand debug host be developed using .NET:
