In this article we’ll go through the ins and outs of AWS Lambda pricing model, how it works, what additional charges you might be looking at and what’s in the fine print. Money makes the wold go round. Unfortunately, it is a necessity in almost all spheres of life. You can live without it or with lesser amounts of it, but it makes it all harder. If you wish to have it, first, you need to give it, as always. Even AWS Lambda is not free.

When you're building a serverless web app, it can be pretty easy to forget about the database. You build a backend, send some data to a frontend, write some tests, and it'll scale to infinity with no effort, right? Not quite. Especially not with Postgres. As the number of users of your frontend increases, your app will open more and more database connections until the database is unable to accept any more. It gets worse.

The world of cloud computing has been revolutionized by a solution called serverless computing. It has been an absolute joy for developers to use. Before this innovation, developers had to worry about the resources powering their code. Since the launch of serverless computing, the developer’s focus on operating-system and hardware architecture is now a thing of the past. It handles all the server management while focusing on what you do well — writing good quality code.

This article will cover how the health of your serverless application can be measured and improved. Technology and its implementation methodology evolve with time very rapidly. Cost efficiency and productivity are the key drivers of technological evolution these days. With the advent of the cloud, infrastructure costs have been brought down significantly. Serverless technology adds icing to the cake!

In the real world, when we implement systems, there are often many kinds of users, such as super business users and some level 1 support technicians who understand the application domain and can support a lot of your applications. Still, due to limited skills and experience with Azure, they are constrained to how much of the application they can help. A great example of this is when you have a solution that uses Azure Service Bus.

Observability is a measure of how well the internal state of a system can be inferred from its external outputs. It helps us understand what is happening in our application and troubleshoot problems when they arise. It’s an essential part of running production workloads and providing a reliable service that attracts and retains satisfied customers.

At Lumigo. we believe in serverless technology, and our mission is to make serverless development easy and fast. For the past few months, we’ve been extending our observability and debugging capabilities, making it a breeze for developers to understand the end-to-end story of every request that goes through the system, find the root causes of issues and be able to easily address them.

Today we are announcing an additional $29 million in funding to help Lumigo grow and provide the same powerful observability capabilities we brought to serverless to other cloud-native technologies, including containers and Kubernetes. Lumigo was founded by Aviad Mor and me a few years ago because we believed the world would be rapidly moving to cloud-native architectures and that these technologies are transformative. Our goal was to create the tools that help developers realize this vision.

Serverless development has been turning heads in the market for quite some time now. But it has yet to be accepted by the majority in the development community. With AWS Lambda, Azure Functions, and IBM’s Open Whisk, the market is poised to take a different route in this field. Most of these organizations are spending a lot of money to make the market accept this new paradigm using serverless computing.
