Introducing LambdaPulse

The power of AWS comes with a high level of complexity. Engineering teams need to be able to tap into the strengths of AWS without becoming bogged down by the AWS console UI.

That’s where LambdaPulse comes in.

LambdaPulse is a monitoring tool for AWS Lambda X-Ray traces. It provides a user-friendly UI for quickly navigating between different traces, exploring their metrics and logs.

View detail for each trace and filter by date

Users can pick a range of dates and times, and browse traces for functions that were invoked in the selected timeframe. Each trace shows pertinent details like segment names, start times, durations, errors, and so forth.

Examine a graph of segments in each trace, with logs

Developers can also drill into individual traces to view a graph of relationships between segments. In this way, it’s possible to visualize the path of segments after the initial function invocation. Detailed logs are also available for each trace.

Hover over nodes in the graph for more detail

Hovering over any node in the graph will show additional details about that particular segment, including subsegments, duration, errors, etc. With LambdaPulse, you can see exactly where errors and latency are impacting the health of your serverless applications.

Full service graph of an application

LambdaPulse can also display a full Service Graph of the application, with extensive logs and with details on hover-over.

LambdaPulse was developed in partnership with OSLabs. OSLabs is a nonprofit tech accelerator devoted to furthering high-impact open source software within a collaborative community of dedicated engineers and mentors. Their mission is to advance open source innovation, by supporting engineering leaders that are dedicated to building products that will benefit the software engineering community and the tech industry as a whole.
