Hey! We have made our first webinar! It includes a demo showing solving a real life problem in Java with RDS.<p>You can watch it here: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmAw24uquK0" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmAw24uquK0</a>
This looks promising!<p>We tried using a similar service "IOPipe" last year and really had trouble with their offering. <a href="https://www.iopipe.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.iopipe.com/</a><p>It would be nice to see more companies providing this kind of observability services ( especially for multiple cloud providers )
This is cool! Strategically are you worried about being built on top of an AWS specific solution? The only reason I ask is its pretty inevitable that AWS will be providing instrumentation / apm capabilities native to their offering.
This would be super timely for me if it supported Python, but even without that it's interesting. Coming from the world of servers (virtual or physical) I find the logging latency and the lack of "observability" in general quite maddening in Lambda.<p>Two things I wonder about this:<p>1) The "no code changes" part implies it's adding another layer of code somewhere, which means another thing to trust and probably not be able to audit, which is not automatically OK outside the "move fast break things" world. Am I misreading it?<p>2) How can you add metrics with "no overhead?" Surely there must be some overhead... and then it would be nice to be able to measure how much.<p>For me personally, #1 is a real issue and #2 is just hypothetical, but I would expect it to be the other way around for a fast-growing startup.
I've built a cloudwatch metrics stack that reads out of lambda's logs. There's no other way to get data out of your lambda for "free". XRAY is an option but not everything you'd want.
I tried creating an account but it just says: "Error: server_error. Check the console for further details." :(<p>This looks really interesting!<p>Also, the title here says "Python", but I don't see Python in the docs. I assume it is similar to Go, where you just import a library?
I'm not quite sure I understand what the log support entails. Also, it says for Node.js that this is coming soon. Any idea of the ETA on this one?
This is very timely for me and Good Work!<p>Now PLEASE tell me your logo will be a cat?? (Yes I can see that you seem to going for 'bird' <i>sigh</i>)
As an interested user, what is the difference here between traditional instrumentation like Application Insights?<p>I understand this is intended for AWS Lambda, but what is it doing that makes it more suited?
