Webinar: Build a Serverless App with Lambda & Step Functions — Join Lumigo & Cloudway for a webinar on Thu, Dec 10, on building serverless apps with Lambda and Step Functions. We'll demo the entire workflow and show you how to build the architecture and how to monitor the app. Save your spot.

Complete Serverless Observability & Debugging with One Click — Using automatic distributed tracing, Lumigo gives you an end-to-end view of your AWS serverless transactions and identifies exceptions, timeouts and cold starts. Get alerts before things go wrong and easily drill down to the root cause.

AWS Lambda Extensions: What Are They and Why Do They Matter — Last week we featured the release of AWS Lambda Extensions, a new mechanism for integrating other services (such as monitoring or security tools) with Lambda functions, and here one of the companies using Extensions from day one goes into more depth on what they’re for and where the benefit is.

Debugging AWS Lambda Timeouts — Some tips for how to detect and find the root cause for Lambda timeouts which aren’t much fun to debug at the best of times.

What Alerts Should You Have for Serverless Applications? — Having a low MTTR (Mean Time to Recovery) is always a good thing and getting alerted when things go wrong is key to recovering fast. Here are a few of the approaches to alerts you can take when using AWS.

How to Debug AWS Lambda Performance Issues — True serverless hero Yan Cui shares some advice on performance debugging. Naturally, Lumigo comes up as he works there :-)

Serverless CI/CD: How We Added a Staging Step — Lumigo software engineer Nir Hod shares why and how he built a staging step into the Lumigo serverless CI/CD flow using CircleCI and Step Functions.

5 Reasons Why You Should Use EventBridge Instead of SNS — Why you should consider using EventBridge over SNS for service integrations.

Serverless Cost Optimization: Kinesis Streams vs Firehose — Serverless cost efficiency isn’t just about pay-per-use, it’s also about choosing the right service for a particular task.

Provisioned Concurrency - The End of Cold Starts — Last week we covered the news about AWS Lambda getting a ‘provisioned concurrency’ option to get rid of ‘cold starts’, but here Yan Cui takes a deeper dive into the new feature.

SQS and Lambda: The Missing Guide to Failure Modes — Using Amazon’s queue service with Lambda isn’t always a smooth experience. Here’s a look at some common failure modes and how to deal with them.
