LogDNA today announced a new offering that enables developers to troubleshoot coding bugs and quickly fix development errors in applications, potentially saving businesses millions of dollars in development hours, downtime and associated revenue loss. IBM Log Analysis with LogDNA integrates LogDNA services to allow developers to aggregate all their log data across applications in the IBM Cloud.

Lambda layers and runtime API are two new feature of AWS Lambda which open up fun possibilities for customizing the Lambda runtime and enable decreased duplication of code across Lambda functions. Layers lets you package up a set of files and include them in multiple functions. Runtime API provides an API for interacting with the Lambda service function lifecycle events which lets you be much more flexible about what you run in your Lambda.

AWS’s announcement of Lambda Layers means big things for those of us using serverless in production. The creation of set components that can be included with any number of Lambdas means you no longer have to zip up your application code and all its dependencies each time you deploy a serverless stack. This allows you to include dependencies that are much more bespoke to your particular serverless environment.

Since Amazon released Lambda in late 2014, the notion of serverless applications and function-as-a-service has steadily gained steam. Being able to focus on application code and simplifying infrastructure management is alluring, but traditional monitoring methods are no longer applicable. With less visibility, it becomes even more important to take advantage of the available monitoring methods. In this post, we discuss those monitoring methods, CloudWatch Metrics and CloudWatch Logs.

Recently AWS released a new set of icons for all their services. We were really stoked about it, until we opened the file and realized they were low resolution raster icons in a Powerpoint file.

The ITOps world is a harsh working environment where ITOps personnel are expected to minimize the business impact of incidents at all hours of the day—regardless of the impact to themselves or their families. As more companies undergo digital transformation, the number of alerts and interruptions flowing to IT first responders will continue to increase.

As you may expect from a company founded by former Amazon employees, PagerDuty has been helping AWS users automatically turn any signal into the right insight and action for years. Our Amazon CloudWatch integration enables teams to proactively mitigate customer-impacting issues, which in turn allows organizations to innovate and scale both their AWS and hybrid environments with confidence.

It’s that time of year again. No, not the holidays, it’s time for the yearly pilgrimage to Las Vegas for Amazon’s AWS re:Invent 2018. Last year over 40,000 people were in attendance; this year the number is expected to beat 50,000. It’s a safe bet to expect it to be bigger and more exhausting than ever.

In Sumo Logic’s latest report, The State of Modern Applications & DevSecOps in the Cloud , we were able to take a unique perspective of how companies are continuing to build using AWS and which emerging technologies and trends are rising in adoption.
