How to use Lambda extensions with Sumo Logic to reduce operational overhead and improve performance

We are excited to partner with AWS to get real-time log data from AWS Lambda through the new AWS Lambda Runtime Log API and AWS Lambda Extensions. AWS Lambda Extensions enable us to more easily integrate into the AWS Lambda execution environment to control and participate in the AWS Lambda lifecycle and the AWS Lambda Logs API enables us to collect function, platform, and extension logs. Through this integration, Sumo Logic and AWS make it possible to reduce operational overhead and improve performance.

How to catch all exceptions in Python

One of the struggles developers face is how to catch all Python exceptions. Developers often categorize exceptions as coding mistakes that lead to errors when running the program. Some developers still fail to distinguish between errors and exceptions. In the case of Python application development, a python program terminates as soon as it encounters an unhandled error. So, to establish the difference between errors and exceptions, there are two types of errors.

Air Quality Monitoring Made Easy with the InfluxDB Air Quality Monitoring Template

Air quality monitoring is important as poor air quality is responsible for an estimated 60,000 premature deaths in the United States each year, and annual costs from air pollution-related illness are estimated at $150 billion. Air quality monitoring can help track and guide action to reduce air pollution, which can cause short-term and long-term health effects for children, older adults, and people with heart disease, asthma, and other respiratory conditions.

Webinar: Debugging AWS Lambda Timeouts with Yan Cui

When a Lambda function times out, it’s one of the trickier problems to debug, especially if the function performs multiple IO calls. What was it doing when it timed out? And how do I identify these timeout errors quickly when Lambda lumps them together with other unhandled exceptions? In this webinar, we will show you how to identify and debug timeout errors, and strategies for mitigating timeouts and degraded performance more gracefully when there are underlying issues.

Webinar: Debugging Slow Lambda Response Times

One of the most common performance issues in serverless architectures is elevated latencies from external services, such as DynamoDB, ElasticSearch, or Stripe. In this webinar, we will show you how to quickly identify and debug these problems, and some best practices for dealing with poor performing 3rd party services. Here are some of the topics we cover.

Webinar: Improving AWS Lambda Cold Starts

AWS has improved Lambda cold starts by leaps and bounds in the last year. But for performance-sensitive applications such as user-facing APIs, Lambda cold starts are still a thorn in one’s side, especially when working with languages such as Java and .Net Core. In this webinar, we will dive into strategies for improving cold start latency and how to mitigate them all together with Provisioned Concurrency, and how Lumigo helps you optimize your use of Provisioned Concurrency.
