Observability with .NET 6 and AWS Lambda

In this video, learn how to add observability to your serverless applications in .NET. We walk through the three pillars of a good observability strategy; traces, logs and metrics.

Traces and logs are important for diagnosing problems that have happened and understanding how requests flow through your system. Metrics are measured values of your system's performance. They include both infrastructure and application specific metrics. All three are vital for understanding how your application works and diagnosing issues that may occur.
