Ask HN: How do you log your services?

1 pointryanmccullagh2 comments

For long running services, for example, how do you monitor them? How do you view the logs, and how are you alerted if an exception occurs?

Is CloudWatch easy to use?

Besides just using `tail -f $file`

We use a combination of metric and events. Some trigger sns... Which trigger lambdas that forward urgent messages to slack.

Cloudwatch search is slow af tho exploring faster options.
