Introducing Stackoscope For Serverless Applications

Here at Lumigo, we are focused on helping customers succeed with serverless and make it easier for them to build and run serverless applications in production.

It’s great to see old features, that have been around as long as 1.4, finally become GA. For example CronJob, PodDisruptionBudget, and sysctl support.
