We're happy users of both Serverless Framework as well as SAM (AWS). Serverless Framework offers a pretty rich set of plugins which provides a lot of extensibility out of the box including function warming, webpack, instrumentation and many others.
Shameless plug alert: we also dogfood IOpipe, our own dev tooling for Lambda. IOpipe[1] gives us near realtime errors, logs, tracing, and CPU/mem profiling capabilities that we're used to having in "traditional" development environments.
At IOpipe, our vision is to eliminate risk for developers and operations teams building serverless applications by providing developers with best-in-class tooling to develop, debug, and monitor their applications.
IOpipe | Solutions Architect | Remote First - US Only | https://iopipe.com
We're bringing visibility to serverless applications built on AWS Lambda. With tools such as profiling, tracing, metrics, errors, and logs, we are making development faster and easier. We help developers get back to writing code.
As a solutions architect, you'll be responsible for educating prospects and customers on serverless best practices. Giving demos of how to best instrument, monitor, and observe serverless applications. Helping with integrating our open source libraries into customer's code, and creating content to help enable companies to move to serverless. As well as helping our customers with education and best practices around serverless architectures.
We're backed by top VCs, we're fully remote, and are a leader in the serverless space.
The cold start times have been quietly getting better over time on AWS Lambda. I just checked some python Functions and I'm seeing cold starts take around 80ms on average for a simple function.
If you're in a rush, IOpipe[1] already has Python support offering profiling, tracing, and other debugging and observability tools for AWS Lambda. Co-founder of IOpipe here, feel free to ask anything.
Servers.lol was a side project for us to figure out if some of our own workloads were a good fit. Our day jobs are to build tooling for serverless applications. You can find more at http://iopipe.com
A little over a year and a half ago, we started diving deep into the serverless space. We spoke to many users of AWS Lambda and found that the biggest issue with building complex serverless application was a lack of visibility and instrumentation.
It's difficult to know when issues start bubbling up, and relying on so many services as part of your application can be scary. We've built a set of tools to help dig deep into functions, and view outwards by tracing triggers and external calls performance and metadata surrounding it.
I'd love to hear more from Lambda users about their experiences building and operating serverless apps.
IOpipe | Frontend Design Engineer | Fully Remote - US Only | $90k - $120k + Equity | https://iopipe.com
IOpipe is building a platform to help develop and operate serverless applications. We are a fully remote, venture backed team of 8, based in the US. Looking for design oriented front-end engineers to work on a realtime dashboard that makes sense of millions of events per day, per user. You'll be working with react, and a gql API.
Not trying to be spammy here, but I want there to be awareness that there are startups working on tools to address these gaps. Our startup, IOpipe[1] is working on one set of tools to ease development, debugging, and instrumentation for serverless applications. Aside from Stdlib and ourselves, there are others working in areas like security and CI/CD as well. These are early days, and tools will soon become abundant, but at least there are a handful to try out today.
We're a seed stage development and operations platform for AWS Lambda, is hiring a backend/systems software engineer who will be engaged in developing, operating, and scaling our APIs and data ingestion pipeline. A strong candidate will have interest, if not experience, in the serverless space, observability, and AWS.
We're under 10, venture backed, and building out a diverse and fully remote team devoted to enabling serverless development and operations. You can mail us at [email protected] if you're interested or have questions.
