SAN FRANCISCO — Google made its fledgling Google Cloud Platform for making and running apps more developer-friendly today, by launching a series of tools that speed up discovery of problems and improve monitoring.
At the developer-centric Google I/O conference today, Greg DeMichillie, director of product management on the Google Cloud Platform, demonstrated Cloud Save, Cloud Debugger, and Cloud Trace.

Cloud Debugger shows all the calls an application in Google’s cloud is making to external services. That drill-down is the first step; from there, a developer can log in to the actual code, change it as necessary, while the application stays in production.
