Debugging Lambda Functions in Console with CloudWatch Logs Live Tail

Learn how to identify and debug issues in the AWS Lambda console with the CloudWatch Logs Live Tail. As developers, we want a single pane of glass when we are working through a code issue. Most of the time, that is in a local IDE, but sometimes we need to work in the console. This video demonstrates the new Live Tail feature that lets you tail the logs of up to five Lambda functions on the same screen as your code.
