Description

🚀 The feature

Be able to set breakpoints and step through custom handlers after sending requests to Torchserve. something like VSCode Live Server or the Javascript Debugger for Torchserve that works with VSCode Remote Containers.

Motivation, pitch

Debugging containers with prints is tedious: https://github.com/pytorch/serve/issues/711

Research direction
Investigate existing VSCode debug adapters (e.g., Live Server, JavaScript Debugger) to understand the protocol and how they integrate with Remote Containers. Explore Torchserve's request handling pipeline to identify where breakpoints could be inserted. Potential starting points: Torchserve's backend worker code in Python/Java, and the VSCode extension API.
