Deep Visibility:
Serverless Logging with AWS
All Things Integration Meetup
5 PM MST on December 8, 2020
What you'll learn
Visibility into any system is a key component of creating a supportable platform. Without proper logging, support can be costly and inefficient. With the emergence of APIs, microservices, and distributed, decoupled architectures, logging becomes even more important because there are more components that make up a system than ever before. This is beneficial from the standpoint of creating reliable systems, but logging frameworks need to adapt to this architecture because the premise of logging remains the same as it always has: log clear messages that are easy to read with the goal of enhancing visibility into a system.
In this Meetup brought to you by Big Compass and AWS, we will explore techniques of logging from the typical iPaas or always-on managed system like a custom application on an EC2, and we will balance that with a discussion on logging from serverless microservices such as AWS Lambda also. We’ll walk through a real system we have created using AWS serverless services and discuss how a logging framework can be created using AWS serverless services to enhance the visibility and supportability of the system, and how you can extend these logs with automations triggered based on logged messages.
You will learn:
Common best practices and blind spots of logging
Differences of logging from always-on systems versus serverless services (AWS Lambda)
Successful use cases where logging has been implemented to improve the supportability of a system
Other thoughts and considerations of logging from the AWS serverless stack from an AWS Solutions Architect
Who should attend:
IT leaders who want to decrease support cost and have a system visibility pain point
Developers struggling with implementing a robust, highly visible logging solution
Anyone considering using Serverless technology for an upcoming implementation
Reasons to attend:
Create a logging framework that garners deep visibility and a great experience for users, no matter the underlying architecture
