Observability provides end-to-end visibility into a system’s internal health by using the data it generates: logs, traces, and metrics. In a multi-cloud environment, observability enables you to detect and resolve anomalies.

Monitoring as code (MaC) is a shift in thinking that is now being increasingly adopted in software development. Knowing the significance of MaC and incorporating monitoring in the development process early on brings a great number of benefits for DevOps teams.

AWS Lambda is a compute service that lets you run code on high-availability infrastructure without any server provisioning. You can perform tasks such as maintenance of servers and operating systems, capacity provisioning, automatic scaling, and code logging and monitoring.
