WORKSHOP: Serverless Observability on AWS

Abstract

In this workshop, you will use AWS services including API Gateway, SNS, SQS, and more to build a fully serverless GitHub App that you can integrate into your own GitHub repositories. Along the way, you will use Datadog to observe your service and identify possible failure modes and common scalability issues. With that information, you'll be able to iterate and improve the service to a product-ready state. You will learn how Datadog observability tools like continuous profiler, APM, and cold start tracing enable you to observe, understand, and get the most out of your serverless applications.
