Feature Spotlight: System Maps

Lumigo’s System Map is a real-time visualization of your entire application. A bird’s eye view of the whole stack with filters that allow you to drill down into a subset of your infrastructure. Our systems have grown exponentially both in scale and complexity. AWS takes care of scaling automatically, ensuring your application will scale gracefully regardless of the programming language, load, or location.

Top 7 AWS Lambda metrics to monitor

Since launching in 2014, AWS Lambda has dramatically grown in popularity. Lambda allows you to run code 7without having to manage the underlying compute resources. From a monitoring standpoint, you no longer have the need or ability to observe traditional performance metrics like CPU and memory. That doesn't mean you don't need to keep an eye on other things, though. So what metrics should you monitor for your Lambda functions?

Feature Spotlight: Timeline

Lumigo’s Transaction Timeline lets you see in a glance the flow of a transaction across its components and the latency caused by each, allowing you to easily identify bottlenecks and issues. Distributed tracing is a popular method for monitoring and profiling transactions in a microservices architecture. It’s what developers use to pinpoint failures, performance drops and other problems.

Dashbird's Lessons Learned from Launching a SaaS Application

From the development and operations side, launching a new software application can be quite challenging. Deciding which tools to use, how to organize the task pipeline, managing collaboration among team members, monitoring performance and potential issues after launch, etc. It’s not easy to get it done right. Dashbird recently went through all of this. Behind the scenes, our amazing development team worked really hard to overcome all challenges and deliver the best value to our users.

Detailed view on Azure Function Custom Handlers

Custom Handler is a feature in Azure Functions which lets you bring your own command, script, or executable, and hook it up to Azure Functions Triggers and Bindings. Custom Handler implements a lightweight Web Server. In other words, you can write your own APIs, in any language i.e. it need not be a language supported by Azure functions. You can just hook up your Azure function host with your custom API and let your function act as a proxy.

Feature Spotlight: Auto-Tracing

Lumigo’s Auto-Tracing allows you to implement distributed tracing on your Lambda functions with 3-clicks and no manual code changes. If you’ve already decided to move to a serverless infrastructure, you probably understand the importance of monitoring your AWS Lambdas and what it might entail. For the few out there that are still wondering what monitoring AWS Lambda means, I’ll break it down for you in a couple of steps.

AWS Lambda Monitoring - what to keep an eye on with serverless

AWS Lambda is the leading serverless computing solution and is one of AWS’ most successful products, to date. Its popularity is in large part because of the way it makes development easier and faster. Lambda completely abstracts away the maintenance of underlying infrastructure including compute, storage, memory, and networking. Developers simply upload their code in the form of Lambda functions and the service fully handles the execution of these functions.

On-Demand Webinar - Modernizing Monolithic Apps with AWS & Stackery

A few weeks ago, Stackery had the pleasure of participating in a webinar with leaders from AWS and MasterStream ERP, a telecom-quoting company that has quite the architectural modernization story to tell due to their adoption of serverless with Stackery. Our very own Farrah Campbell (Ecosystems Director) sat down for a fireside chat with Santiago Cardenas (Sr.

Feature Spotlight: Explore

We’ve recently updated one of the most powerful features in Lumigo: Explore, and I wanted to tell you a bit more about it and what it can do for you. Explore is a quick and easy way to find events you are interested in your Lambda invocations. Without a feature such as Explore, you would have to sift through thousands of invocations to find what you are looking for, wasting a lot of time.
