Implementing observability differs at various stages of the software development lifecycle. In development, detailed logging and tracing are necessary to understand application behavior. In testing, logging and tracing are needed but in varying levels of detail and must be augmented by new metrics. In integration and production, it’s necessary to correlate and contextualize large volumes of data with dashboards that encompass metrics, alarms, and notifications connected to internal and external events. In this session, explore the mechanisms, mental models, and tools (including Amazon CloudWatch, AWS CloudTrail, AWS X-Ray and Amazon DevOps Guru) that top-performing teams use to observe applications throughout various stages of the software development lifecycle.

On AWS, details matter: Why full-stack observability wins (sponsored by Splunk)

DOP215-S, DevOps and Developer Productivity

• Steve Flanders, Director of Product Management at Splunk

Your customers expect your application to virtually always be up. The standard for a reliable application is 99.99 percent reliability, which means your application must have fewer than 52 minutes of downtime over an entire year. Getting to this goal requires observability, and AWS has useful tools for monitoring AWS infrastructure. However, to operate an application, you also have to use observability to monitor the application itself, from users to backend data stores. In this session, learn the key features required of a full-stack observability solution and how Splunk Observability Cloud can help you provide more reliable applications and better customer experiences. This presentation is brought to you by Splunk, an AWS Partner. Speakers: Morgan McLean (Splunk) and Steve Flanders (Splunk)

Como a maior cooperativa de créditos do Brasil está processando cartões de crédito na AWS

POR209, Portuguese

• Amanda Quinto, Senior Solutions Architect at AWS

Nesta sessão abordaremos como a Unicred, uma das maiores cooperativas de crédito do Brasil processa atualmente pagamentos de mais de 100 mil cartões de crédito de seus cooperados na infraestrutura AWS. Este projeto nasceu da necessidade da Unicred obter maior controle e autonomia de sua operação. Utilizando serviços de containers como o Amazon EKS, monitoramento com o Amazon CloudWatch; bancos de dados com Amazon RDS e Amazon DynamoDB; computação serverless com AWS Lambda e instâncias do Amazon EC2, Alessandro Guzzo, Gerente de Projetos na Unicred comenta: “Esta arquitetura permite que as transações ocorram em tempo real, e que a Unicred possa crescer em termos de quantidade de cartões sem necessariamente crescer a infraestrutura, pois se trata de um ambiente em containers e o escalonamento horizontal destes recursos consome poucos recursos de infraestrutura”. Como resultado desta implementação, a Unicred pode obter um novo posicionamento da cooperativa, agora no rol das instituições financeiras que tem iniciativas em nuvem conseguiu reduzir em aproximadamente 4x o custo de gerenciamento da estrutura e por fim oferecer cartões ao mercado com funcionalidades altamente disponíveis e sem falhas.
