Serverless monitoring focuses on metrics like execution time, errors, and invocation counts. Distributed tracing becomes essential to follow requests across functions. Logs are centralized rather than server-based. This shifts monitoring from machines to behavior. Systems become more transparent once observability is embraced.
Monitoring becomes more precise and event-focused. Root causes are easier to identify.
This shift improves reliability across complex distributed systems.
Serverless monitoring tracks functions, not servers.
