AWS Lambda Monitoring Tool Leverages Artificial Intelligence Instana has announced that it has expanded the reach of its performance monitoring tool, which leverages artificial intelligence (AI), to include AWS Lambda as well as many other AWS services. The company is an Application Performance Monitoring (APM), specialist in monitoring dynamic microservice applications. Instana announced last week that its tool supports AWS products, including AWS Lambda which is the Amazon cloud’s serverless computing platform. “More business applications operate in hybrid environments, incorporating traditional monolithic apps, wrapped with a new microservices stack, and using native AWS Services.” Instana CEO Mirko Novakovic stated that customers are now using AWS Lambda Functions to access specific microservices. AWS services support continuous automatic discovery and collection of configuration, performance, and health information for Lambda and other AWS components. It also provides application performance metrics across the entire environment. According to the company, its solution uses AI to automatically monitor and visualize application performance for dynamic microservice applications. According to the company, accurate performance analysis can be achieved by aligning the application service map with each change immediately. AI is also used to alert and identify the likely root causes of each incident. Instana sensors are monitoring the following AWS native platforms in addition to Lambda:
