Wallace Wilhoite - Your Lambda function, your IDE, let’s debug live
0 likes236 views
Serverless development focuses on low-code solutions. Remote debugging of AWS Lambda functions is now possible using tools like SLAppForge that allow debugging live directly in IDEs. While options exist, AWS could make remote debugging easier by providing their own integration and services for this capability.

- 3. AWS Lambda debugging key points ● Serverless is all about low or no code solutions. ● AWS Lambda debugging has moved us backwards. ● Remote debugging is widely available. ● Debug live in the actual AWS Lambda runtime using your IDE. ● AWS can make it easier for us all
- 4. My serverless story ● AWS refresher training ~5 years ago. ● Python scripts in 10 different regions migrated to AWS Lambda. ● Experienced a WTFstring moment when trying to debug. ● Leveraged observability tools (IOpipe). ● Continued my search for real live remote debugging…..
- 5. AWS Lambda debugging techniques ● Print or console.log statements ● Cloudwatch logs ● X-Ray ● Local debugging ● Emerging remote debugging discovered.
- 8. AWS Lambda Debugger Hooks
- 9. Vendors with AWS Lambda debugging solutions ● SLAppForge-GA July 2019 ○ Java - IntelliJ IDEA, Eclipse and NetBeans ○ Node.js - Visual Studio Code, Jetbrains IntelliJ IDEA, Jetbrains WebStorm ● Thundra-GA ~ Feb 2020 ○ Java, Node.js & Python-Eclipse, IntelliJ IDEA, Visual Studio Code ● Rookout ○ Rookout Sandbox ● Trek10 - Sep 2017 ○ proof of concept available. https://bit.ly/2Yj0vJA
- 10. How can AWS help? ● Recognize live remote debugging is essential. ● Provide integration to support remote debugging. ● Here are service names to consider: ○ SDS - Simple Debugging Service ○ LDS - Lambda Debugging Service ○ DDS - Dynamic Debugging Service ○ (see Corey Quinn for snarky AWS debugging service name)
- 11. Summary ● Serverless development is all about low or no code solutions. ● Leverage your IDE’s remote debugging capability now. ● Remote debugging for AWS Lambda is available now. ● AWS can make it easier for us all ● For more information: @wallacewilhoite wallace@slappforge.com
