Lambda Overview

Lambda functions are serverless functions that run specific code based on the runtime chosen. SixthSense now has the capability to monitor lambda functions on your AWS account and be able to display metrics.

Lambda Extensions allow to easily integrate monitoring, logging, security, or performance enhancements, into their Lambda functions without modifying the function code directly.

Monitoring and capturing the key performance metrics of Lambda function and Aggregate critical serverless (AWS Lambda) metrics in one place for a birds-eye view.

Benefits

• To ensure the performance, dependability, security, and affordability of your serverless application environment.
• Making it easier to diagnose and troubleshoot issues when they occur (Incident Response time & MTTR – Mean Time To Restore)
• Optimize performance by filtering to functions that are generating errors and high latency.
• Identify high-level function issues, then pivot to invocation traces and optimize the Lambda functions and mitigate risks.

This capability is useful for SREs, CloudOps, DevOps who are admins.
