Edwin Moedano Monitoring and Observability of Lambdas with Cloudwatch and Powertools
AWS Community Day Midwest 2025 Edwin Moedano Monitoring and Observability of Lambdas with Cloudwatch and Powertools This talk focuses on exploring how we can improve our monitoring and observability insights in serverless implementations using AWS Lambda, CloudWatch, and Powertools. We will discuss key concepts and pillars of observability to help us better understand how to analyze logs and metrics and consolidate them into an integrated dashboard in AWS. With the help of a live demonstration, we will walk through the steps to rapidly implement these solutions, providing practical knowledge and skills to enhance your serverless architecture.
