This blog will brief on how to encrypt a text file using Azure Logic App out of the box. In this blog, we will use keys from the Azure Key Vault to encrypt the file. Consider a scenario in which I receive an e-mail with high importance along with the attachments. When it happens, I wish to back up those attachments carrying sensitive information in Azure Storage blobs in an encrypted format. As mentioned above I will use keys from Azure Key Vault to encrypt the files.

One of the great things about Lumigo is that it records a lot of context about each Lambda invocation. This includes the invocation event and its return value, as well as the environment variables that were in use at the time. I find this super helpful because it gives me all the relevant information about an invocation in one place. I don’t have to jump between different screens to find the relevant information and then piece the clues together in my head.

Roadmap.sh is a quite popular Github repo providing community-driven guidelines for professionals willing to join or develop a software career. From Backend to Fullstack to DevOps. I missed some details there about Serverless environments and thought about sparking a discussion around this. Perhaps these ideas can mature and eventually become a contribution to the repository.

Serverless is great, it helps companies focus on product and application development without having to worry about the application’s infrastructure and scaling under various conditions. However, there are some soft and hard limits for every AWS service you should need to keep in mind when developing a serverless application. These limits are meant to protect the customer as well as the provider against any unintentional use.

We added out of the box alerts for irregular behaviors. Lumigo Insights will trigger an alert the second it detects an irregularity with your functions ensuring you’ll know the second things start to go sideways.

End-to-end observability enables teams to understand what’s going on in their environments but, without proper alerting, can become quite overwhelming. We continuously strive to ensure that our users are able to make the most of the best tools in the market, and are happy to announce that we now officially integrate with PagerDuty.

The distributed nature of serverless technology is both a strength and a weakness. On-demand hardware’s natural resilience and responsiveness make it a powerful tool for rapidly driving your application’s development and growth, solving many early headaches in scaling and security.

About 90% of all Lambda functions monitored by Dashbird on AWS Lambda are running Nodejs and Python runtimes. Is this purely a reflection of the general popularity of these programming languages?
