Access Challenge

Debug and optimize our production Node.js server. This challenge tests backend troubleshooting, performance optimization, and system reliability — core skills for our operations commander.

Server Debugging Terminal

Our production server is experiencing issues. Use the terminal commands below to diagnose and fix the problems. When the system is stable and optimized, the application button will appear.

kautilya-server$ npm start
Server starting on port 3000...
Connected to PostgreSQL database
Redis cache connected
API endpoints loaded
ERROR: /api/search endpoint returning 500
ERROR: High latency detected on /api/auth
WARNING: Memory usage at 85%
Available commands: check-logs, debug-endpoint, optimize-query, restart-service, show-metrics
kautilya-server$
Hint: Follow the debugging workflow like a Node.js engineer. Check logs → Debug issues → Optimize → Restart with fixes. Show us your backend troubleshooting skills!
