Monitoring & Observability

Observability is not a dashboard. It is the ability to ask any question about your system and get an answer without deploying new instrumentation. We build environments that meet that standard.

What This Service Includes

Specific deliverables and capabilities included in a Monitoring & Observability engagement.

CloudWatch Dashboard Design

Purpose-built CloudWatch dashboards for your specific workloads: application metrics, infrastructure health, business KPIs, and cost signals on a single pane of glass.

Get Started

Alerting and On-Call Setup

SNS-based alerting with appropriate thresholds, runbook links in alert messages, and escalation paths configured. PagerDuty and Slack integration where used.

Get Started

AWS X-Ray Distributed Tracing

X-Ray instrumented for your Lambda functions, API Gateway, and ECS services so latency bottlenecks and error sources are visible at the request level.

Get Started

Log Aggregation and Analysis

CloudWatch Logs Insights queries, metric filters, and log groups structured for searchability. Retention policies set to balance compliance and cost.

Get Started

CloudWatch Anomaly Detection

ML-powered anomaly detection configured on key metrics so your alerting adapts to seasonal and trend patterns rather than requiring constant threshold maintenance.

Get Started

Synthetic Monitoring

CloudWatch Synthetics canaries for critical user flows (login, checkout, API health) so you know about availability issues before users report them.

Common Questions

Our primary stack is CloudWatch and X-Ray. If you already use Datadog or Grafana, we can integrate with those as well. We scope based on your existing tooling.

Monitoring tells you when something is wrong. Observability tells you why. We build both: alerting for known failure modes, and tracing and logging infrastructure that lets you investigate unknown failures.

A standard CloudWatch observability setup for a medium-complexity environment takes 1–2 weeks. The timeline depends on the number of services and whether distributed tracing instrumentation is required.
