Insights

Apart from an active monitoring system, Dashbird also has compiled a series of Serverless Well-Architected best practices. All your cloud resources behavior and configurations are cross-referenced against this set of good practices.

Insights are alerts and suggestions for you to:

Prevent cloud resource from failing
Improve performance
Reduce costs
Identify architectural improvement opportunities

For each cloud resource, different types of insights can be generated. SQS queues, for example, are tracked for abandoned queues (unused), high delay in message reading, etc. API Gateways are checked for unusual latency times. ECS services are verified for resource consumption, such as low or high memory/CPU usage levels.

Insights also track errors in cloud resources, such as exceptions in a Lambda code, API Gateway or Lambda timeouts, DynamoDB throttling, among others.

What our customers say

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.
