We're excited to announce that we've shipped some nice improvements to our broken links & mixed content checks. These checks both make use of the crawler that powers those features. When we first launched Oh Dear!, we decided to limit the crawls to the first 1.000 unique pages we find. This was mostly a protection for infinite loops, since those are really hard to detect.

Developer teams and even operational teams often ignore monitoring applications. Deadlines, inexperience, company culture, and management can lead to poor or neglected monitoring inside developing platforms. Automating all monitoring tasks is an excellent way to avoid this scenario. Automation leads to lower costs, less time spent solving issues, and more efficient teams.

Website performance monitoring looks holistically at your site or application.

In our last post, we covered CloudWatch Metrics in a great deal of detail. We looked at how we can use it to monitor the health of our Lambda functions, including setting up service dashboards as well as alerts. In this post, we will focus on its sister service – CloudWatch Logs. We’ll see how it works and how to get the most out of it.

AWS bills are notoriously complicated, and the Amazon Cost Explorer doesn’t always make it easy to understand exactly where your money is going. When we embarked on our journey to reduce our AWS bill, we wanted more than just the Cost Explorer to help us figure out where to optimize — and when all you have is a hammer, every problem sure looks like it can be solved with Honeycomb!

Transport Layer Security (TLS) is a cryptographic protocol commonly used to provide secure network communication between web servers and browsers.
