Debugging with Laravel Telescope (Part 1)

In the article, we will discuss “Debugging with Laravel Telescope”. Laravel provides a wonderful debugging assistance Laravel Telescope. As you know, when we developing an application then it is impossible to avoid bugs. Laravel Telescope empower us to manage to debug an application.

Telescope not only allow to monitor and debug but provide the wide range of information which is not normally available to view. You can view complete insights for the requests coming into your application, exceptions, database queries, queued jobs, emails, log entries, notification, cache and lots more. Also, we can get which pages are working right and which database queries were run when a request was made.
