Monitoring your AWS Lambda performance takes a crucial part in your everyday AWS Lambda usage. Monitoring helps you identify any performance issues, and it can also send you alerts and notify you of anything you might need to know. The world is slowly getting to a point where machines and computers will be flawless, but until then, if we let them perform various tasks for us, we could at least monitor their performance.

For this to happen, we need another kind of program which would monitor the activity of our automated work. There are programs (or tools) that can offer significant help with the monitoring of your AWS Lambda performance, and in this article, I will cover the top 3 AWS Lambda monitoring tools and explain how they work and what exactly are they used for.
