Hitting your first breakpoint

In this video, I'll show you how to debug your API by hitting your first breakpoint using DDLess as a proxy server. No Xdebug, no extensions, just set and go.
You'll see how to configure DDLess as your web server, send requests from Postman, cURL, or any HTTP client, hit breakpoints and inspect variables in real time, and step through your API logic line by line.

This approach works for any project where the backend is a standalone API separate from the frontend. Laravel, Symfony, CodeIgniter, CakePHP, Yii2, Tempest, Drupal, or any PHP 7.4+ project.
