• Enhancing API Observability Series (Part 3): Tracing

  When choosing distributed tracing tools, considerations include your technology stack, business requirements, and monitoring complexity. Zipkin, SkyWalking, and OpenTelemetry are popular distributed tracing solutions, each with its unique features. - Source: dev.to / about 2 months ago

• The Road to GraphQL At Enterprise Scale

  From the perspective of the realization of GraphQL infrastructure, the interesting direction is "Finding". How to find the problem? How to find the bottleneck of the system? Distributed Tracing System (DTS) will help answer this question. Distributed tracing is a method of observing requests as they propagate through distributed environments. In our scenario, we have dozens of subgraphs, gateway, and... - Source: dev.to / 6 months ago

• Generating cloudwatch alarms using 'metric math' via CloudFormation and Terraform.

  There are several well-known 3rd party tools, such as Splunk or DataDog, but people often forget there is a handy set of tools provided by AWS under the CloudWatch banner. CloudWatch provides a range of services, such as exposing metrics, linking them to alarms, and X-ray services, to allow us to understand the performance of services in more depth. - Source: dev.to / 4 months ago

• Refactoring a serverless application to use Step Functions third-party API call integration

  I use the OpenWeather API to receive the current temperature data by providing the latitude and longitude coordinates as query strings in the request. A Lambda function invokes the weather API and sends the current temperature value as a custom metric to CloudWatch. I then graph the temperature values on a dashboard and activate an alarm when the temperature sinks below zero degrees Celsius. - Source: dev.to / 5 months ago

• Build Amazon CloudWatch Dashboards with AWS CDK for Serverless Services

  The library provides “easy-to-use CDK constructs for monitoring your AWS infrastructure with Amazon CloudWatch.” It abstracts the CW widget creation and simplifies it with out of the box support for many AWS services such as API Gateway, Lambda, DynamoDB and more. - Source: dev.to / 6 months ago
