Another day of re:Invent is over and it’s all been amazing and overwhelming. And yes, the medals really do spin. It was a huge honor to be named an AWS Serverless Hero a few weeks ago. As I prepare for more conference talks in the upcoming months, I’m reflecting on what it means to be granted this honor despite having only written my first lines of code earlier this year.

Serverless computing continues to be a growing trend, with AWS Lambda as a main driver of adoption. Today, AWS released Provisioned Concurrency, a new feature that makes AWS Lambda more resilient to cold starts during bursts of network traffic. If you’re running a consumer-facing application, slow page loads and request timeouts can degrade the user experience and lead to significant revenue loss.

AWS today announced Provisioned Concurrency, an exciting feature to allow Lambda customers to not have to worry about cold starts anymore. And we at Lumigo are proud to be an official launch partner for AWS Provisioned Concurrency. In this post we’ll drill into the problems cold starts pose, explore how Provisioned Concurrency resolves them, and explain some rough edges you need to understand when it comes to working with this new feature.

The “serverless” movement is taking the industry by storm and now, with Datadog, you can start monitoring your serverless applications and functions on AWS Lambda. As soon as you enable the Lambda integration, you’ll start to see your metrics in an out-of-the-box dashboard like the one above. Monitor and alert on AWS Lambda serverless functions in minutes with Datadog.

After months of planning and anticipation for sponsors, attendees, and speakers alike, it’s a bit surreal that re:Invent 2019 is actually upon us! In addition to setting up shop in the Expo hall with the team to chat with re:Invent guests about their current serverless development workflows (and how Stackery can supercharge it), I made sure to attend some choice presentations this week.

API Management (APIM) helps organizations publish APIs to external, partner, and internal developers to unlock the potential of their data and services. API Management provides the core competencies to ensure a successful API program through developer engagement, business insights, analytics, security, and protection. This blog will cover the key concepts about Azure API Management followed by monitoring them in various perspectives using Serverless360.

This blog will brief on Azure Logic App Expressions. Before getting deep into Logic App expressions let us have a short introduction about Workflow Definition Language in Azure Logic Apps.

This guide will give you key strategies for deploying the same application on multiple AWS accounts. If you have multiple AWS accounts running, multi-account deployments make often make sense. If your developers have created an application within their dev environment (which has its own AWS Account), they’ll naturally want to move it over to production (with a separate AWS Account).

Azure Event Grid facilitates building event-driven serverless apps that can effectively solve a real-time business problems with a focus on the core logic rather than the infrastructure. Event Grid is designed for high availability, consistent performance, and dynamic scale. Event Grid can simplify event-based apps, as this serves as a single service to manage routing of all events from any source to any destination. Before we proceed further, it is important to understand what an ‘event’ is.
