The team at SolarWinds® Loggly® and myself decided to find out. We ran a series of performance tests on some of the most popular Node.js libraries. These tests are designed to show how quickly each library processed logging and the impact on the overall application. Let’s see how they did!

Serverless architectures such as AWS Lambda have created new challenges in debugging code. Without a solid logging framework in place, you could waste hours, or even days, tracking down simple defects in your functions. A strategic logging framework can be a powerful way to track down and resolve bugs. Let’s walk through how to get the most out of logging Lambda functions.

Welcome, Yangstas! (Can I call you folks that? What are Yangstas? YOU! I’m Lisa Yang. Get it?) I’m excited to take you folks on a new type of journey today!
