SVS308: Becoming Proficient with Serverless Application Observability

Resources for SVS308: Becoming proficient with serverless application observability

Performance monitoring is an important part of any application. By understanding the health of your application, you know whether it’s functioning as expected and can proactively react when it becomes unhealthy. With serverless applications often built on top of many different services, it can be challenging to pinpoint the source of an issue without proper observability tooling used throughout. Come learn how to add monitoring, logging, and distributed tracing to your serverless applications, including for functions deployed as container images. See how you can track platform and business metrics, visualize your application’s performance and operations, and understand which services should be optimized to improve your customers’ experiences.
