Abstract: AWS Lambda is a serverless compute service that enables developers to execute code without the complexities of server management. It provides automatic scaling and a cost-effective pay-per-use model, making it a preferred choice for modern cloud applications. However, to maintain optimal performance, reliability, and cost-efficiency, robust monitoring mechanisms are essential. Amazon CloudWatch serves as a powerful observability tool that provides real-time metrics, logs, and event tracking for AWS resources, including Lambda functions. This paper explores the capabilities of CloudWatch in monitoring AWS Lambda, highlighting key metrics, best practices, and strategies for setting up alerts and dashboards. By leveraging CloudWatch effectively, organizations can enhance the performance and reliability of their Lambda-based applications while optimizing operational costs.

Keywords: AWS Lambda, serverless computing, Amazon CloudWatch, monitoring, observability, metrics, logs, performance optimization, cost-efficiency, scalability.
