Monitoring AWS Lambda with .NET and Powertools

Modern serverless architectures require robust monitoring to ensure reliability and performance. Tracking key metrics is essential to understanding how your .NET Lambda functions behave under load. This course guides you through the process of instrumenting your serverless applications with structured metrics. You will transition from basic console logging to professional-grade cloud observability, enabling you to detect bottlenecks and optimize resource consumption. What you'll learn: - Understand foundational observability concepts and how metrics differ from logs and traces - Configure AWS Lambda Powertools within a modern .NET environment - Publish custom application metrics to CloudWatch using standard formats - Apply performance-tuning strategies based on real-time execution data - Analyze resource utilization to optimize memory allocation and execution costs - Implement structured logging practices that complement your metric collection The course begins with core terminology and architectural basics before walking you through step-by-step code implementations and real-world monitoring patterns. It is designed for .NET developers new to serverless monitoring and AWS Lambda, with no advanced cloud prerequisites required.
