Avoiding Disaster with AIOps

There’s a growing acceptance that artificial intelligence for IT operations (AIOps) is critical to maintain uptime and service levels as infrastructure has become more complex and users more demanding. AI-enhanced tools can filter and manage data from systems efficiently, and discover patterns that can solve issues faster and even prevent them. But as with any new technology there are risks that threaten ROI and adoption.

Despite obvious business advantages, a rapid release approach combined with continuous change processes resulting from DevOps principles will in the long run generate new challenges. The entire process needs to be carefully examined and controlled.

Troubleshooting production issues in Lambda environments is often challenging. CloudWatch requires developers to comb through logs, search for relevant terms that they may not always know of and has hard-to-consume stack traces. For obvious reasons, we recommend using Sentry to instrument your Lambda Functions code in order to report error stack traces and associated debugging context. Here’s a walk through on how to instrument a Node function.
