The latest News and Information on Serverless Monitoring, Management, Development and related cloud technologies.
Say you are an awesome developer sitting contentedly at your desk when a Slack message suddenly interrupts your peaceful mental flow: It would appear there is a data issue with the new Activity History service released last month… Or at least a couple people think there is. Now, instead of making progress on new tasks, you now need to drop those and look into what’s happening here. Sigh.
Serverless is synonymous with Event-Driven Architecture, where Events are a fundamental block of information that is passed around to execute certain application logic. It is very important that events are delivered to the right destination with expected behavior to make sure the whole serverless application works as one. Events are relayed from one place to another through communication services, either in sequence or in parallel.
There’s a lot of talk about serverless computing lately, especially with the big tech giants investing in the idea and offering exclusive products built on it. But is it just a buzzword, or does it have the potential to become the next big thing in technology? Cloud computing was once a buzzword, too, one may argue. But that buzzword ended up revolutionizing the whole industry, with 90 percent of companies now using cloud hosting.
Today, we launched a new and improved version of Dashbird’s main screen – a single pane of glass, designed to give you an overview of the most important events and metrics across your serverless environment. During the past year, we have invested heavily into building the next stages of our platform, expanding our offering to include services like API Gateway, SQS, DynamoDB, Step-Functions, ECS, and Kinesis, with many more coming in the next months.
And just like that – welcome to the last part in our “Well-Architected and Serverless” series. We hope it’s been informative, insightful, and fun for you, to explore the five pillars of the AWS Well-Architected Framework (WAF) with us! Read the previous posts: Part 1: Security Pillar Part 2: Operational Excellence Pillar Part 3: Reliability Pillar Part 4: Cost Optimization Pillar So let’s look into the last – Performance Efficiency (PERF) – pillar.
Though the volume of serverless talks is lower this week, the quality and impact lacked nothing. Two must-see presentations emerged highlighting important practices for succeeding with serverless in the enterprise.
We’ve talked about how serverless architecture is a great option for companies that are looking to optimize costs. Just like with all app building and developments, monitoring the performance of your implementation is crucial and we, the folks at Dashbird, understand this need all too well – this is why we’ve spent the better part of the past year and a half to create a monitoring and observability solution for AWS Lambda and other Serverless services.
