Serverless Observability needs a paradigm shift with Toli Apostolidis

Only a few can claim they have successfully created a Pure-Serverless architecture and only those really understand the challenges of observing real event driven architectures. Apostolis Apostolidis (also known as Toli) is one of those people and its why we invited him back to discuss all the lessons learned from his time as Head of Engineering Practices at cinch. Tune in and learn about the evoluation of Serverless observability and the challenges when observing API Gateways, Queues and Step Functions. Listen to Toli's advice on picking one observability vendor, doing your own custom instrumentation and making yourself familiar with the observability data from your managed service provider.Also go back to our previous episode to hear more from his Engineering Practices for Success and remember that the time to ask about coldstarts is over 🙂 Additional links we discussed today:Previous Podcast with Toli: https://www.spreaker.com/user/pureperformance/unlocking-the-power-of-observability-engOpenTelemetry: https://opentelemetry.io/AWS Step Functions: https://aws.amazon.com/step-functions/Dynatrace Business Flow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0bSzvQrUzA

The brutal truth about digital performance engineering and operations.Andreas (aka Andi) Grabner and Brian Wilson are veterans of the digital performance world. Combined they have seen too many applications not scaling and performing up to expectations. With more rapid deployment models made possible through continuous delivery and a mentality shift sparked by DevOps they feel it’s time to share their stories. In each episode, they and their guests discuss different topics concerning performance, ranging from common performance problems for specific technology platforms to best practices in development, testing, deploying and monitoring software performance and user experience. Be prepared to learn a lot about metrics.Andi & Brian both work at Dynatrace, where they get to witness more real world customer performance issues than they can TPS report at.
