Hi, This is Serkan. Co-Founder&CTO at Thundra, the company behind Sidekick. Flight recorder is a very useful tool for profiling your apps running on JVM. But next generation debugging tools like Sidekick allows you to debug your Java applications without stopping at breakpoint (so it can be used even on production) Sidekick - gives you local debugging like experience with tracepoints (aka non-breaking breakpoints) - And allows you to inject logs dynamically to anywhere on the fly without code change, rebuild and redeploy

JFR can also run in production without any meaningful overhead, it is a very important goal of it. But dynamically changing new “trace”points with a running prod instance is indeed a new functionality it seems.
