Enable Debugging and Innovation with Serverless Monitoring

Serverless architecture enables rapid innovation and scalability, but the abstraction of infrastructure layers introduces significant monitoring challenges. Developers struggle with fragmented visibility across multiple tools, hindering their ability to quickly resolve performance issues and maintain application reliability.

With New Relic’s Unified Serverless Monitoring—a powerful extension to New Relic One’s platform, providing comprehensive observability for hybrid cloud environments. New Relic’s Unified Serverless Monitoring combines detailed serverless metrics with traditional APM insights. This solution enables developers to identify and resolve issues across their entire stack quickly, creating a seamless experience.

Holistic Context: Full-Stack Visibility in One Place

When facing complex debugging scenarios, switching between fragmented dashboards and isolated tools can drastically increase downtime. New Relic’s unified serverless observability solves this by automatically correlating performance metrics from traditional applications and serverless functions into a single, intuitive view. This approach eliminates guesswork, simplifies troubleshooting, and significantly reduces mean time to resolution (MTTR).

Customer scenario:
Imagine it's 2 AM, and a developer must resolve an urgent checkout failure. Instead of juggling multiple dashboards, New Relic consolidates all relevant performance data—from serverless functions and APIs to traditional infrastructure—in one place, making root-cause analysis seamless and swift.

Granular Insights: Precision Debugging at Invocation Level

Understanding how each serverless function behaves is crucial for optimizing performance and reliability. New Relic provides precise, per-invocation-level visibility into serverless functions. This granular insight lets developers accurately pinpoint problematic functions, identify performance bottlenecks, and efficiently debug code issues that traditional monitoring tools often overlook.

How it works:
Detailed traces reveal exact invocation patterns, latency issues, cold start occurrences, and error rates, enabling developers to quickly isolate and resolve performance anomalies at the most granular level.

Optimized Efficiency with AI-Powered Recommendations

Cloud costs can quickly spiral out of control when serverless resources aren’t managed effectively. New Relic leverages intelligent observability (Intelligent O11y) to provide actionable, AI-powered recommendations that help teams right-size their serverless infrastructure. This proactive optimization reduces waste, maximizes resource utilization, and ensures applications scale cost-effectively.

Impact:
With AI-driven insights, businesses can reduce their cloud expenses and improve application efficiency, thereby boosting productivity and delivering significant cost savings.

Getting Started

Integrating Unified Serverless Monitoring into your workflow is straightforward:

Step 1: Instrumentation

• Add New Relic's serverless agent to your functions using provided AWS Lambda layers or via supported frameworks (Serverless Framework, SAM).

Step 2: Configure your Account

• Connect your cloud provider (AWS Lambda, Azure Functions) through the New Relic UI to start ingesting data instantly.

Step 3: Explore and Monitor

• Log into New Relic One, navigate to the Serverless Monitoring dashboard, and immediately access comprehensive function-level performance data and full-stack correlations.
