The latest News and Information on Cloud monitoring, security and related technologies.
Every CEO is looking for an edge. Every change in IT — whether we’re talking about the move away from company owned data centers to VMs, or the latest digital transformation we’re seeing today — has always been about gaining a strategic advantage. Companies want to do more at a lower cost, and they want the freedom to pivot quickly without fixed costs.
And just like that – welcome to the last part in our “Well-Architected and Serverless” series. We hope it’s been informative, insightful, and fun for you, to explore the five pillars of the AWS Well-Architected Framework (WAF) with us! Read the previous posts: Part 1: Security Pillar Part 2: Operational Excellence Pillar Part 3: Reliability Pillar Part 4: Cost Optimization Pillar So let’s look into the last – Performance Efficiency (PERF) – pillar.
Though the volume of serverless talks is lower this week, the quality and impact lacked nothing. Two must-see presentations emerged highlighting important practices for succeeding with serverless in the enterprise.
We’ve talked about how serverless architecture is a great option for companies that are looking to optimize costs. Just like with all app building and developments, monitoring the performance of your implementation is crucial and we, the folks at Dashbird, understand this need all too well – this is why we’ve spent the better part of the past year and a half to create a monitoring and observability solution for AWS Lambda and other Serverless services.

As a result, load balancers have become a critical part of software development.
