We're exploring various single-process examples of stepping to inform our design decisions in the Erlang debugger. We discuss cases like stepping over function calls, handling closures, recursion, and tail recursion, highlighting the importance of stack frame awareness.

We dive into the internals of the Erlang VM in order to prototype edb, an Erlang debugger closely integrated to the VM. In this post we give an overview of the overall design, look at the existing capabilities in the VM we were able to leverage, and what features needed to be added.
