Serverless observability and monitoring

Traditional observability practices and tools are not always well suited to handle the new technical challenges posed by distributed serverless architectures. During this meetup we will discuss how you can tackle the challenges of observability & monitoring in serverless architectures. We have 2 speakers/topics:

TALK 1: Serverless observability with AWS X-RAY & CLOUDWATCH
(By Pieter Herroelen)

What does AWS provide in terms of logging, metrics, alerting and distributed tracing? We'll discuss what services you can use, how you can tweak them to your preference and what their limitations are.

<< Pieter is an independent software developer, currently working at miaa Guard. miaa Guard specializes in authorization in the cloud >>

TALK 2: LUMIGO Serverless monitoring PLATFORM
(By Wim Creuwels - Faros)

Lumigo is a platform that integrates with AWS Lambda to allow for monitoring of all Lambda functions within your AWS environment. It tracks all executions of any Lambdas and analyses them to provide useful information such as running time, cold start, etcetera. Lumigo also provides a view on the different AWS services that are called from or call a Lambda. Finally it provides a topography of your AWS Lambdas and the services they interact with.

<< Wim is a technical consultant with a broad interest in Cloud Native Development platforms like AWS >>
