Things are changing. Technology differences between serverless and container-based systems are rapidly blurring. In 2020, Amazon Web Services (AWS) enabled AWS Lambda to package and deploy functions as container images instead of bundling all of a function’s code and dependencies in a.zip file. Today, more organizations are increasingly deploying Lambda functions as Docker container images. These companies want to reap the benefits of serverless computing, containers, and container orchestration.

OpenSearch Serverless simplifies search and analytics with auto-scaling, cost efficiency, and easy management, ideal for large-scale applications.

Azure Service Bus is a cloud messaging service that transfers information between services running in both the cloud and on-premises. So, it becomes essential to ensure the performance and availability of Service Bus as it might be used in applications and integrations for transferring business-critical messages. To help you with that, we have listed and compared the top Azure Service Bus monitoring tools with their features.

FinOps is an evolving concept increasingly practiced in cloud computing organizations to manage and optimize their infrastructure cost. It requires team collaboration among Finance, Engineering and IT Operations to gain a deep understanding of the expenditure, take financial accountability, and make informed decisions to maximize the business performance.

Many organizations migrate their workloads to the cloud or begin leveraging what the cloud offers. However, to keep their businesses up and running during this process, organizations still require integrating their systems in the cloud, like Dynamics365, Salesforce, and ServiceNow, with Azure Integration Services (AIS) and potentially on-premises. One crucial aspect of such integrations is keeping them healthy and available, which requires monitoring and diagnostics.

Developing an application is like composing a song. You know your intended outcome, and the creation is what gives you the jolt of adrenaline to keep going. However, your job isn’t over once you push the application live. You need to monitor and maintain it to ensure performance and cost optimization. AWS Lambda forwards metrics to CloudWatch once the function completes processing an event. Through the CloudWatch console, you can set alarms and build visualizations with these metrics.

Learn how to instrument AWS Lambda functions with OpenTelemetry to gain valuable insights and improve the performance of your serverless apps.
