How a cooking platform whipped up a new observability plan with Grafana Cloud

As any good cook knows, if you want to create a top-notch dish, you have to use the best ingredients.

Almost two years ago I wrote the first installment of what was supposed to be a 3 part series on Serverless Monitoring. Parts two and three never materialized.
