The latest News and Information on Serverless Monitoring, Management, Development and related cloud technologies.
Did you know that CloudFormation tags don’t automatically propagate to some resource types? Chief among these are CloudWatch log groups, which means you can’t include them in your cost monitoring (via cost allocation tags) among other things. The only way to tag CloudWatch log groups right now is via API calls. You can do this with the AWS SDK, or using the AWS CLI. This is hugely inconvenient!
School’s out for… Autumn? That’s right, while you were avoiding the back-to-school rush at Office Depot, cutting the crusts off PB&Js, and taking the layers out of mothballs (confession: I have never seen let alone used a single mothball), Serverless Summer School began winding down and is now over for the season. Until next year, school-themed Stackery livestreams!
Observability is a common challenge for serverless applications and we believe Lumigo is perfectly positioned to help you tackle this problem. As such, I’m pleased to announce that we have published a new Serverless framework plugin to make it even easier for you to get started.
Cost is a big reason many dev teams are transitioning to serverless. However, there are still some ways costs can creep up on you in serverless apps. The biggest culprit I’ve found in my own experience is the VPC resource. Because adding a VPC to a serverless stack is ridiculously easy in Stackery, I’ve sometimes gotten carried away. I’d deploy a stack with a VPC for testing, then quickly forget about it.
Now I’m sure this is not the case for everyone but for me personally, I like watching video tutorials on subjects that I need help with. I spent a good amount of time searching for these tutorials and while there might be a lot more of them out there I believe these are some of the best and easiest tutorials to follow but nevertheless, I’d like to keep this list updated so if you have any suggestions please let me know.
