In this post, delve into the process of detecting tenant activities within microservices spanning multiple AWS accounts. We provide insights into instrumenting AWS Lambda functions to include tenant information in tracing using ADOT and demonstrated how to establish a service map across several AWS accounts using Amazon CloudWatch. By leveraging AWS observability technology, SaaS providers can enhance operational efficiency and redirect their attention towards their desired development goals.

For years, the Aurea team managed and maintained 120+ AWS-hosted SaaS products across hundreds of AWS accounts. With escalating costs, they needed a way to identify cost savings across their accounts and applications in a safe and scalable way. Learn how Aurea responded to this challenge by developing CloudFix, a scalable solution for finding and fixing cost-saving opportunities in your AWS environment. CloudFix is an AWS cost optimization tool that helps you adopt and use AWS services efficiently.

By automating performance testing and including chaos testing, organizations can identify failure scenarios in systems before they develop and cause downtime. Learn how Distributed Load Testing on AWS (DLT) automates performance testing at scale, and how AWS Fault Injection Simulator (AWS FIS) performs controlled chaos engineering experiments on AWS resources. By combining the power of AWS FIS and DLT, organizations can perform comprehensive resilience testing and continuously validate their systems.

With the rise of large language models, natural language processing, and generative AI models, embeddings are becoming a critical piece of data in more machine learning use cases. In this post, explore different ways embeddings are used in machine learning and where problems can show up that impact your ML models, and how you can use WhyLabs to identify those problems and create monitors to avoid them showing up again in the future.

Customers can use Grafana Cloud to connect over 60 of the most popular AWS services. Interacting with those services in Grafana Cloud is easier than ever, providing one portal to set up and manage an entire AWS observability strategy. This post takes a closer look at the changes that will make it easier to manage your AWS environment. Grafana Labs supports users’ infrastructure and applications wherever they are, regardless of data type or source.

The term “API economy” refers to businesses delivering digital services to end users, other company services, or partners. This post discusses the necessary aspects to achieve an observability model in the API economy, including a practice example with an architecture design and related technologies. Based on Pragma’s extensive experience, explore the mainstays of observability and the importance of having well-defined observability architecture to have a thriving API economy model at scale.

Monitoring and managing cloud-based resources is crucial for maintaining performance, troubleshooting issues, and ensuring the health of your infrastructure. Learn about the integration of Amazon CloudWatch with VMware Cloud on AWS with a focus on monitoring the workload of virtual machines. We’ll elaborate on the benefits of integrating CloudWatch with other AWS services as well as third-party services like ServiceNow ITSM tool and IBM Netcool.

Organizations need to be able to carefully define, monitor, and manage who has access to specific pieces of data according to their policies and external regulations. Effective data governance ensures data is consistent and trustworthy without being misused. Learn how Privacera enables data access governance on Amazon Aurora, including tag-based access control policies, and how Privacera can be used to mask columns or filter by row.

Monitoring containerized applications can be challenging due to the isolated environment that containers provide. A comprehensive monitoring strategy is essential, including how to choose tools to collect and analyze resource usage, network traffic, and application logs. Learn how eCloudvalley leverages AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry to help customers centralize their monitoring in Amazon CloudWatch for their Amazon EKS environment.

Being able to support varying tenant configurations is a common requirement for SaaS providers. Learn how LaunchDarkly creates varied tenant experiences with entitlement flags and how to model entitlements as feature flags, targeted to tiers to give tenants access to specific features. We’ll also dive into ways you can use the LaunchDarkly feature for flagging deployments/releases, doing progressive rollouts, or running experimentation—all important release practices for SaaS providers.
