Mastering Serverless Application Observability

Are you currently building, or wanting to build serverless applications? Are you wondering what observability is, or wanting to find out how you can get more insights into how your application, and business are running.

Well, this video series is just for you. I go through adding observability to a demo serverless application which you can try yourself.

Mastering Serverless Application Observability | Intro | E1

In the series, I go through adding observability to a demo serverless application which you can try yourself.

I spend a good amount of time going through what observability is to help you understand the benefits, and how it differs from monitoring, and explore the kind of data that can help give you those insights. Then I go through how to gather and use Metrics, alerts, Logs, and Traces with the demo application, using AWS services. And then I’ll show how you can bring all the data together to answer questions about your application, or troubleshoot an issue. Lastly, I cover some how to integrate some observability tools into your workflows. It’s not all slides, I’ll be showing plenty of demos and diving into code too.
