April 2020 Summaries

Lumigo, a serverless-first observability platform, has achieved the coveted AWS Lambda Ready designation, recognizing its efforts to help mainstream adoption of serverless technology. The company's product integrates with AWS Lambda and provides developers with tools for painless and rapid achievement of serverless goals. Lumigo's success is attributed to its ability to build products that integrate well with AWS services, offering top-shelf end-to-end visibility into customers' serverless applications. This achievement is a credit to Lumigo's customers who have helped shape the company into a top-tier serverless observability platform used by thousands worldwide. With this designation, Lumigo aims to make it easier for AWS customers to find and use integrated monitoring platforms, allowing them to focus on scaling their products efficiently.

Lumigo's Auto-Tracing allows developers to implement distributed tracing on their AWS Lambda functions with minimal code changes, enabling easier monitoring and optimization of serverless infrastructure. Traditional instrumentation methods can be tedious and time-consuming, requiring manual wrapping around each function and potential difficulties when switching between different monitoring services. Lumigo's auto-tracing feature simplifies the process by automatically adding tracers to all functions without modifying any code, providing a more efficient and transparent way to manage distributed tracing.

Explore is a powerful feature in Lumigo that allows users to quickly find events of interest in their Lambda invocations with fine-grained queries, solving the problem of sifting through thousands of invocations to find specific data. With Explore, users can search for invocations based on various fields and properties, such as duration, resource name, readiness, error, region, method, host, status code, entity type, key, and value. The feature provides free text search with logical operators AND, OR, and parentheses, allowing users to create complex queries. Users can also define ranges for certain fields, such as duration or status code. Explore is available in Lumigo's account, which can be signed up for free.
