Seamless Monitoring: Get Slack Alerts for Every AWS Lambda Function Update

Lois Dar Juan2025-02-28T10:10:47+00:00

Keeping track of updates in your AWS Lambda function seems like an easy task, but it is actually time-consuming. Leaving your Lambda function unattended after deployment may incur risks in missing crucial updates that may affect its overall performance and functionality. And most of the time, you also do development tasks which might limit your attention to these Lambda functions. That's why you must be informed whenever an update is made to your Lambda function. Whether done by yourself or by your teammates and collaborators, being informed of these changes will help you maintain its efficiency, especially when diagnosing issues [...]

Creating a Self-Healing Mechanism for a Lightweight Website

Nestor Mayagma Jr.2025-02-26T03:13:15+00:00

Downtime can be a major disruption for any website, but for lightweight websites like personal blogs or any type of static site, a simple restart of the instance might be all that's needed to resolve the issue. In this article, we'll walk through setting up a self-healing mechanism using AWS Lambda and Amazon EventBridge. This will automatically detect if your website is down, restart it, and send a notification to Slack. We'll also explore how Amazon CloudWatch can be used as a trigger for the Lambda function via a subscription filter and discuss some common causes of downtime or 5xx [...]
