5Troubleshooting and Optimization
- 5.1Observability with CloudWatch
Understand observability basics: CloudWatch Logs / Logs Insights, metrics and alarms, and custom metrics. The starting point for "Troubleshooting and Optimization" in DVA-C02.
- 5.2Distributed Tracing and Debugging with X-Ray
Understand debugging with AWS X-Ray: distributed tracing (request path and per-segment latency), pinpointing bottlenecks/errors, and the service map.
- 5.3Optimizing Performance and Cost
Understand optimization: caching (ElastiCache/DAX/CloudFront), Lambda tuning (memory/concurrency/cold-start mitigation), and efficient data access (Query, retries with exponential backoff, pagination).
