AWS observability: AWS monitoring best practices for resiliency

Dynatrace

NOVEMBER 22, 2021

Visibility into system activity and behavior has become increasingly critical given organizations’ widespread use of Amazon Web Services (AWS) and other serverless platforms. These challenges make AWS observability a key practice for building and monitoring cloud-native applications. What is AWS observability? And why it matters.

Some organizations prefer a serverless approach. Serverless computing provides on-demand access to back-end services on a per-use basis. While serverless benefits have driven substantial market growth over the past few years, there are also disadvantages to serverless computing. Increased agility. Faster time to market.

AUGUST 11, 2022

Function as a service is a cloud computing model that runs code in small modular pieces, or microservices. FaaS enables developers to create and run a single function in the cloud using a serverless compute model. Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) handles compute, storage, and network resources. Functional FaaS best practices.

Indeed, according to one survey, DevOps practices have led to 60% of developers releasing code twice as quickly. But increased speed creates a tradeoff: According to another study, nearly half of organizations consciously deploy vulnerable code because of time pressure. Increased adoption of Infrastructure as code (IaC).

One large team generally maintains the source code in a centralized repository that’s visible to all engineers, who commit their code in a single build. These teams typically use standardized tools and follow a sequential process to build, review, test, deliver, and deploy code. Common problems with monolithic architecture.
