Not only does it deploy and manage containers, Kubernetes autoscaling enables users to automatically scale the overall solution in numerous ways. This is a tremendous asset, especially in the modern cloud, where costs are based on the resources consumed. Not only does Kubernetes have the capacity to deploy and manage containers, it can also automatically scale the overall solution in numerous ways.

Software engineering is a skilled task; those who obtain the experience and credentials necessary to become engineers know this, as do their employers. Engineers have an overarching goal of using these skills to construct experiences that enable end-users to complete a task successfully and they hope to provide enjoyment and comfort along the way. Anyone who has written software used by a decent number of people knows how daunting this task is.

The online world is full of contrasts. On the one hand, you have site reliability engineers whose job is to keep the business running by ensuring an app’s smooth operations. On the other hand, you have the DevOps staff, whose goal is to minimize cycle time—the time from business idea to feature in production. These two teams can have conflicting objectives.

Stackery is now available on the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Marketplace! This is great news for development teams excited by the prospect of building and modernizing applications using AWS Lambda, DynamoDB, Kinesis, API Gateway, Fargate, and the rest of the growing menu of serverless capabilities. AWS teams can start their serverless journeys with prescriptive and flexible tooling that extends AWS tools and services with less friction in the purchasing process.

AWS Lambda is one of AWS’s most popular cloud services. It allows serverless applications to be built by dividing up an application into functions that can be triggered by changes in your system. Since they are critical to the health of your application, properly monitoring Lambda functions is a top priority for most teams. In this blog post, we will go over how Blue Matador monitors Lambda functions automatically and without configuration. We will cover the following topics:
