Best IT Infrastructure Monitoring Tools for AWS Lambda

At Massdriver, we believe in prevention, not permission. Our self-service platform lets ops teams encode their expertise and your organization’s non-negotiables into pre-approved infrastructure modules—using familiar IaC tools like Terraform, Helm, or OpenTofu. Each module embeds policy, security, and cost controls, transforming raw configuration into functional software assets that streamline multi-cloud deployments across AWS, Azure, GCP, and Kubernetes. By centralizing provisioning, secrets management, and RBAC, Massdriver cuts overhead for ops teams while empowering developers to visualize and deploy resources without bottlenecks. Built-in monitoring, alerting, and metrics retention reduce downtime and expedite incident resolution, driving ROI through proactive issue detection and optimized spend. No more juggling brittle pipelines—ephemeral CI/CD automatically spins up based on the tooling in each module. Scale faster and safer with unlimited projects and cloud accounts while ensuring compliance at every step. Massdriver—fast by default, safe by design.

IBM Instana sets the benchmark for incident prevention, offering comprehensive full-stack visibility with one-second precision and a notification time of just three seconds. In the current landscape of rapidly evolving and intricate cloud infrastructures, the financial repercussions of an hour of downtime can soar into the six-figure range or more. Conventional application performance monitoring (APM) tools often fall short, lacking the speed and depth required to effectively address and contextualize technical issues, and they usually necessitate extensive training for super users before they can be utilized effectively. In contrast, IBM Instana Observability transcends the limitations of standard APM tools by making observability accessible to a wider audience, enabling individuals from DevOps, SRE, platform engineering, ITOps, and development teams to obtain the necessary data and context without barriers. The Instana Dynamic APM functions through a specialized agent architecture, utilizing sensors—automated, lightweight programs specifically designed to monitor particular entities and ensure optimal performance. As a result, organizations can respond to incidents proactively and maintain a higher level of service continuity.

Edge Delta is a new way to do observability. We are the only provider that processes your data as it's created and gives DevOps, platform engineers and SRE teams the freedom to route it anywhere. As a result, customers can make observability costs predictable, surface the most useful insights, and shape your data however they need. Our primary differentiator is our distributed architecture. We are the only observability provider that pushes data processing upstream to the infrastructure level, enabling users to process their logs and metrics as soon as they’re created at the source. Data processing includes: * Shaping, enriching, and filtering data * Creating log analytics * Distilling metrics libraries into the most useful data * Detecting anomalies and triggering alerts We combine our distributed approach with a column-oriented backend to help users store and analyze massive data volumes without impacting performance or cost. By using Edge Delta, customers can reduce observability costs without sacrificing visibility. Additionally, they can surface insights and trigger alerts before data leaves their environment.
