b'Are you interested in going beyond basic monitoring and visibility? Need tools to build and operate serverless applications and extract business intelligence? IOpipe provides extended visibility and metrics around AWS Lambda, including profiling, core dumps, and incoming input events.\\nToday, we\\u2019re talking to Erica Windisch, who is the founder and CTO of IOpipe. She brings her experience in building developer and operational tooling to serverless applications. Erica also has more than 17 years of experience designing and building Cloud infrastructure management solutions. She was an early and longtime contributor to OpenStack and maintainer of the Docker project.\\nSome of the highlights of the show include:\\n\\nNomenclature Battle: Serverless vs. stateless\\nBuilding a window of visibility into Lambda: Talking to users and assessing needs/pain points\\nObservability of the infrastructure: Necessary evil to get to automated healing \\nUsing Lambda at significant levels of scale; some companies grow usage, others go all in right away\\nCurrent state of Lambda ecosystem\\nIs Lambda stable? Indications and no formal SLA\\nHow issues manifest and are exposed\\nTrends include cold starts, hours-long failures, and multiple function evokes\\nInfrastructure powering IOpipe: Lambda issues may impact performance of monitoring system, but IOpipe is not necessarily dependent on Lambda \\nFuture of Lambda: Builds applications a specific way, but there are limitations\\nWhat would Erica change about Lambda? Run function and define handlers\\nLambda functions can be difficult to understand; some developers do not have familiarity and create bottlenecks\\nCapacity limits around Lambda can be difficult to establish\\n\\nLinks:\\n\\nErica Windisch on Twitter \\nErica Windisch on Twitch\\nIOpipe\\n12-Factor App\\nCloud Custodian in Lambda\\nVelocity London\\nServerlessConf London\\nre:Invent\\nAWS Glue'
