ABSTRACT
Fast forward from the last decade to now, we have witnessed significant change in developer experience of Lambda, Step Functions making is revolutionary for developers. In this session, we will dive into the 2 core pillars of the developer journey - DevEx and Observability which completes the cycle of development and production monitoring and observability in the present Serverless era and looking ahead.

GOTO Conferences

A GOTO 2025 conference talk covering the evolution of AWS Lambda's developer experience over the past decade and the state of serverless observability. Topics include Lambda runtimes, layers, extensions, remote debugging via AWS Toolkit in VS Code, Lambda Powertools for standardized logging/metrics/traces, third-party observability integrations (New Relic, OpenTelemetry), and the broader serverless ecosystem beyond Lambda (Step Functions, EventBridge, API Gateway, Fargate). The speaker emphasizes that observability should be built in from day one and that modern tooling has dramatically simplified the serverless development workflow.
