Pushing Application Logs from Amazon Lightsail to Amazon CloudWatch: A Step-by-Step Guide

Nestor Mayagma Jr.2025-03-19T07:29:05+00:00

In my previous article, I mentioned how you can use your application logs hosted on an Amazon Lightsail instance to create a subscription filter in Amazon CloudWatch. But have you ever wondered how to push your application logs from your Lightsail instance to CloudWatch? Unlike in the EC2 instance, which allows you to easily modify the IAM role and attach the CloudWatchAgentServerPolicy, Amazon Lightsail lacks this capability in its default configuration. Pushing application logs to Amazon CloudWatch is invaluable for maintaining a robust monitoring system. It allows you to track application performance, diagnose issues in real-time, and gain deeper insights [...]

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 [...]

PHP-FPM Failures Are Killing Your Uptime – Automate Slack Alerts Before It’s Too Late!

Ace Kenneth Batacandulo2025-01-30T05:13:00+00:00

In today’s fast-paced digital landscape, where user expectations are at an all-time high, even a few seconds of downtime can have catastrophic consequences. Lost revenue, user dissatisfaction, and damage to your brand reputation are just the tip of the iceberg. If you're still relying on manual methods to monitor PHP-FPM (PHP FastCGI Process Manager), you're leaving your system vulnerable to undetected issues that could lead to catastrophic failures. PHP-FPM is critical for managing pools of PHP worker processes and handling high volumes of web traffic efficiently. However, when the number of active processes exceeds safe thresholds, it’s often a red [...]

Troubleshooting AWS Lambda and Amazon DynamoDB Connection Issues

Lois Dar Juan2025-01-24T09:29:31+00:00

Many consider Amazon DynamoDB to be one of the most effective solutions for handling vast amounts of data in the AWS Cloud. Its serverless architecture and highly scalable design ensure reliable performance, making it suitable for applications that demand fast, consistent, and low-latency access to data. DynamoDB's ability to handle large datasets while having steady integration with other AWS services further makes it appropriate for data-driven features. Its serverless design and usability help AWS Lambda functions to process data efficiently, making it ideal for building high-performance and reliable applications. However, integrating these two AWS applications doesn't always work seamlessly as [...]

Monitoring Amazon SES Complaint Rates with CloudWatch Alarms and Real-Time Slack Notifications

Nikee Tomas2024-11-29T07:53:29+00:00

Amazon Simple Email Service (SES) is a powerful tool for sending high volumes of emails quickly and efficiently. However, to maintain your email-sending capabilities and ensure high deliverability, it's essential to monitor your sender's reputation closely. One key metric for assessing this reputation is the Complaint Rate, which measures how often recipients mark your emails as spam. A high complaint rate can lead to your emails being filtered into spam folders, throttling, or even suspension of your SES account. This article will guide you through setting up a system to monitor your Amazon SES Complaint Rate in real-time using Amazon [...]

Deploying a Serverless Inference Endpoint with Amazon SageMaker

John Patrick Laurel2023-12-27T11:56:32+00:00

Introduction Welcome to our deep dive into the world of serverless machine learning (ML) inference using Amazon SageMaker. In this blog post, we will explore the innovative and efficient approach of deploying ML models without the need for managing servers, a method known as serverless inference. What is Serverless Inference? Serverless inference is a cloud computing execution model where the cloud provider dynamically manages the allocation of machine resources. The key advantage here is that it abstracts the underlying infrastructure, allowing developers and data scientists to focus solely on their application logic. This approach offers several benefits: Cost-Effectiveness: You pay [...]
