Full observability and dev tools for building, shipping, and running serverless applications on AWS Lambda. Profiling, Monitoring, Logging, Metrics.


AWS X-Ray helps you debug and analyze your microservices applications with request tracing so you can find the root cause of issues and performance bottlenecks.

how I tail CW Logs:
# aws-vault exec customername --no-session -- awslogs get Apache_Site_Access_Log-stage ALL --watch

AWS CloudWatch logs for Humans™. Contribute to jorgebastida/awslogs development by creating an account on GitHub.

AWS Lambda function in Python3 which is generating code from cloudcraft diagrams is here - https://github.com/antonbabenko/modules.tf-lambda/
Infrastructure as code generator - from visual diagrams created with Cloudcraft.co to Terraform - antonbabenko/modules.tf-lambda

Also meant to ask everyone on the call after Erik mentioned the SSH-via-SSM-agent: what do folks think about AWS’s latest closed-source agent:
- “unified” aws cloudwatch agent (written in golang, based on available debug symbols)

can you share a link?

Explains how to install the CloudWatch agent to collect metrics and logs from Amazon EC2 instances and on-premises servers.

Previous versions of the agent were either in perl or python.


doesn’t seem merited

I’ve had a back-n-forth with CW team (via support) and they have no plan to release the source. Just wondering why this doesn’t raise more eyebrows.

wonder if it’s just a timing thing. that they didn’t have time to clean it up for release.

…wow no plan

debug symbols tell me they’re using internal-only golang libraries

so they’d have to opensource those bits first

Good news @tamsky. I also didn’t know about it before.

it = ?


too late here for me %)

i’ve used the cloudwatch agent and like it more than their prior tooling around cloudwatch


sorry i missed the meeting
