Tracing and telemetry. Debuggers are very useful, but only when they're needed. In fact, in large distributed systems 'debugging' end-to-end bugs is usually hindered with a debugger.
As an aside, even when I have to use a debugger during runtime, the largest part of my interaction with it is heavily scripted, and the debugging process is not interactive.
