PBS Improves Cost and Utility After Migration to Amazon CloudWatch
"The Amazon CloudWatch team has been indispensable in our migration away from our previous observability solution, motivated by cost and usability concerns. Our transition includes using CloudWatch Synthetics for TLS certificate monitoring and API endpoint surveillance, alongside application instrumentation via OpenTelemetry (OTEL) and the PHP SDK for tracing. Crucial performance metrics like Response Time; Error Rate which is derived from Error Count and Request Count; and Transaction Count are meticulously monitored. Anomaly detection systems are in place to spot irregularities in response time and error rates. We've also integrated PagerDuty and an SNS topic for issue alerts. Our partnership with CloudWatch transcends typical customer relationships, emphasizing collaboration and their remarkable responsiveness, exemplified when they rapidly implemented tailored solutions. This underscores the extraordinary value of our partnership with AWS and the CloudWatch team."
