 2. Use `cntr` and `psgrep` to attach to the Nix sandbox. This allows you to interactively debug your code while it's paused. For example:
 
    ```bash
-   cntr exec -w your_sandbox_name
    psgrep -a -x your_python_process_name
+   cntr attach <pid>
    ```
 
 These debugging and testing methods will help you identify and fix issues in your backend code efficiently, ensuring the reliability and robustness of your application.
