What challenges do you face monitoring and troubleshooting failed jobs in serverless architectures?

Serverless environments present a different kind of monitoring challenge, given their ephemeral nature. Describe the complexities of tracing function executions and managing logs in short-lived environments. Explain how tools like AWS CloudWatch, Azure Monitor, or Google Cloud Logging help track failed jobs and improve visibility for effective troubleshooting.

Challenges: Serverless architectures such as AWS Lambda or Google Cloud Functions are highly ephemeral that makes tracing and maintaining contexts on failed jobs due to cold starts, concurrency limitations, or execution time limitations very difficult. Besides these, serverless architectures sometimes are really hard to debug because they do not open up direct access to infrastructure.
Tools and Techniques: I use AWS CloudWatch Logs or Google Cloud Logging for real-time logging of function execution for visibility into serverless performance. Tools like Datadog, New Relic, and Thundra improve observability, providing more insights into performance bottlenecks. Distributed tracing with AWS X-Ray or OpenTelemetry helps track requests across multiple functions and services, giving insights into latency and execution flow. Custom alarms on key metrics such as error rate or execution duration will quickly identify problems, and detailed log analysis will enable root cause diagnosis.
