Lambda Functions Error Count Stat Card

Overview

The "Lambda Functions Error Count Stat Card" tracks and visualizes the number of errors encountered by Lambda functions during execution. By monitoring error counts, IT and Security teams can quickly identify misbehaving functions, troubleshoot issues, and ensure that the Lambda functions perform as expected.

Why It Matters

For IT Engineers:

1. Error Monitoring:

   • The stat card provides visibility into which Lambda functions are generating errors, helping IT engineers quickly troubleshoot issues and prevent service disruptions.

2. Performance and Reliability:

   • By tracking error counts, IT engineers can identify recurring issues that may affect the reliability of the Lambda functions, enabling them to take corrective actions before performance degradation occurs.

3. Root Cause Analysis:

   • The stat card helps IT teams analyze the root causes of errors, allowing them to address specific issues, such as incorrect input data, code bugs, or misconfigured resources.

For Security Engineers:

1. Security Incident Detection:

   • A high error count could signal a potential security incident, such as a misconfiguration that could expose the Lambda function to unauthorized access. Security engineers can monitor error counts to identify and respond to possible threats quickly.

2. Operational Compliance:

   • Lambda functions that are prone to errors may not meet operational compliance standards. The stat card allows security teams to track error rates and ensure that all functions operate within acceptable error thresholds to maintain compliance.
