We added out of the box alerts for irregular behaviors. Lumigo Insights will trigger an alert the second it detects an irregularity with your functions ensuring you’ll know the second things start to go sideways.

One of the great things about Lumigo is that it records a lot of context about each Lambda invocation. This includes the invocation event and its return value, as well as the environment variables that were in use at the time. I find this super helpful because it gives me all the relevant information about an invocation in one place. I don’t have to jump between different screens to find the relevant information and then piece the clues together in my head.

Lumigo’s System Map is a real-time visualization of your entire application. A bird’s eye view of the whole stack with filters that allow you to drill down into a subset of your infrastructure. Our systems have grown exponentially both in scale and complexity. AWS takes care of scaling automatically, ensuring your application will scale gracefully regardless of the programming language, load, or location.

Lumigo’s Transaction Timeline lets you see in a glance the flow of a transaction across its components and the latency caused by each, allowing you to easily identify bottlenecks and issues. Distributed tracing is a popular method for monitoring and profiling transactions in a microservices architecture. It’s what developers use to pinpoint failures, performance drops and other problems.

Lumigo’s Auto-Tracing allows you to implement distributed tracing on your Lambda functions with 3-clicks and no manual code changes. If you’ve already decided to move to a serverless infrastructure, you probably understand the importance of monitoring your AWS Lambdas and what it might entail. For the few out there that are still wondering what monitoring AWS Lambda means, I’ll break it down for you in a couple of steps.

We’ve recently updated one of the most powerful features in Lumigo: Explore, and I wanted to tell you a bit more about it and what it can do for you. Explore is a quick and easy way to find events you are interested in your Lambda invocations. Without a feature such as Explore, you would have to sift through thousands of invocations to find what you are looking for, wasting a lot of time.
