How to Optimize AWS Lambda Costs

Serverless is a great way to reduce the cost of running applications. Lambda functions, by nature, make it very easy to use the exact amount of resources we need at any given point. In this post, we deep dive into Lambda costs, how they are calculated, and explore how to optimize them. Lambda costs are calculated from two parameters (all prices are for AWS N.Virginia, US-EAST-1).

Webinar: Debugging AWS Lambda Timeouts with Yan Cui

When a Lambda function times out, it’s one of the trickier problems to debug, especially if the function performs multiple IO calls. What was it doing when it timed out? And how do I identify these timeout errors quickly when Lambda lumps them together with other unhandled exceptions? In this webinar, we will show you how to identify and debug timeout errors, and strategies for mitigating timeouts and degraded performance more gracefully when there are underlying issues.

Webinar: Debugging Slow Lambda Response Times

One of the most common performance issues in serverless architectures is elevated latencies from external services, such as DynamoDB, ElasticSearch, or Stripe. In this webinar, we will show you how to quickly identify and debug these problems, and some best practices for dealing with poor performing 3rd party services. Here are some of the topics we cover.

Webinar: Improving AWS Lambda Cold Starts

AWS has improved Lambda cold starts by leaps and bounds in the last year. But for performance-sensitive applications such as user-facing APIs, Lambda cold starts are still a thorn in one’s side, especially when working with languages such as Java and .Net Core. In this webinar, we will dive into strategies for improving cold start latency and how to mitigate them all together with Provisioned Concurrency, and how Lumigo helps you optimize your use of Provisioned Concurrency.
