Dashbird is thrilled to welcome legendary security executive, Daniel Grzelak, to its advisory board.
Daniel is currently serving as the Security Chief of Staff at Atlassian, where he established Atlassian’s security intelligence capability, combining security monitoring, incident response, threat intelligence, and vulnerability management.
Daniel brings with him a wealth of first-hand AWS, cloud security, and leadership experience. He led the security team growth at Atlassian from 20 to 40 post-IPO and eventually assumed the Security Chief of Staff role as the team grew beyond 150.
His journey with building on AWS runs back to the early days of AWS Lambda. Daniel started building on AWS in 2015 while Atlassian was moving its business to the cloud. In 2016, Daniel presented an end-to-end methodology for hacking AWS and published the first comprehensive AWS hacking toolkit.
Having years of all-rounder serverless experience under his belt and faced his own obstacles and hurdles on the way, Daniel connected with Dashbird’s mission straight away: “I immediately fell in love with the Dashbird product and vision.”
“Meeting Daniel the first time, we instantly saw the fit with our values and vision for the company. I look forward to working with him as we continue to build the Dashbird platform and expand to service more customers in the future,” says Taavi Rehemägi, CEO and co-founder of Dashbird.
Serverless computing is quickly becoming the new norm allowing businesses to build faster and release features quicker. However, monitoring and debugging serverless applications start to become a real issue when you have tens or hundreds of functions running at the same time.
“It’s early days for serverless and Dashbird but it’s clear both are going to grow like wildfire. Every new company I’ve worked with recently is building on serverless, and every mature company is rushing to figure out how to speed up the dev loop. They’re all struggling with visibility, optimization, and security and Dashbird gives them that,” says Daniel.
Dashbird is built on three core pillars: observability and troubleshooting, automated alerting, and Well-Architected insights. These three factors lay the fundamentals for any serverless engineer to build, operate and scale their applications with confidence, and to stay on top of the performance of their applications at all times.
Dashbird works by gaining read-only cross-account access to users’ AWS data and starts ingesting their data immediately to provide a quick, easy, and detailed overview of users’ Serverless infrastructure in an easily understandable and actionable format for instant investigation and quick remediation.
“The team impressed me with their experience and desire to keep learning. I’m excited for the opportunity to help Dashbird build a secure product and further ensure the security of Dashbird’s customer’s serverless applications,” says Daniel.

In this guide, we’ll talk about common problems developers face with serverless applications on AWS and share some practical strategies to help you monitor and manage your applications more effectively.
Today we are announcing a new, updated pricing model and the end of free tier for Dashbird.
In this article, we’re covering 4 tips for AWS Lambda optimization for production. Covering error handling, memory provisioning, monitoring, performance, and more.
Dashbird was born out of our own need for an enhanced serverless debugging and monitoring tool, and we take pride in being developers.
Dashbird gives us a simple and easy to use tool to have peace of mind and know that all of our Serverless functions are running correctly. We are instantly aware now if there’s a problem. We love the fact that we have enough information in the Slack notification itself to take appropriate action immediately and know exactly where the issue occurred.
Thanks to Dashbird the time to discover the occurrence of an issue reduced from 2-4 hours to a matter of seconds or minutes. It also means that hundreds of dollars are saved every month.
Great onboarding: it takes just a couple of minutes to connect an AWS account to an organization in Dashbird. The UI is clean and gives a good overview of what is happening with the Lambdas and API Gateways in the account.
I mean, it is just extremely time-saving. It’s so efficient! I don’t think it’s an exaggeration or dramatic to say that Dashbird has been a lifesaver for us.
Dashbird provides an easier interface to monitor and debug problems with our Lambdas. Relevant logs are simple to find and view. Dashbird’s support has been good, and they take product suggestions with grace.
Great UI. Easy to navigate through CloudWatch logs. Simple setup.
Dashbird helped us refine the size of our Lambdas, resulting in significantly reduced costs. We have Dashbird alert us in seconds via email when any of our functions behaves abnormally. Their app immediately makes the cause and severity of errors obvious.
