Always beats me why people don't warn the readers about the almost impossible nature of logging and monitoring such systems :/

With APIG+Lambda you get CloudWatch integration 'out-of-the-box', and can expand the metrics and logs you send out with a few added lines of config.
You can also toggle X-Ray for a detailed view of your call graph.
If the default implementation isn't good enough, you can define your own CW events, alarms, and log filtering.
I'll grant you that you can't just ssh into a host and tail some logs, but if you're keen you can send your logs to elasticsearch for a better arbitrary search experience.
One way is we monitor the Ansible tasks which make this happen. Apart from that, there is no way we can do it.
+ trying to make it happen by using something like a Prometheus+Grafana server would defeat the entire purpose of going serverless
