What problems is Amazon CloudWatch solving and how is that benefiting you?
In my project, we rely on Amazon CloudWatch to monitor both application performance and logs. Our main priority is tracking server health and monitoring the latency of our APIs, which are developed using Spring Boot on the backend. CloudWatch enables us to quickly detect failures, particularly during times of high traffic. We have set up log configurations so that any issues trigger immediate notifications through alarms.
At my workplace, we also use this service extensively for logging. We have several Spring Boot microservices built with Gradle, and for these, we use AWS CloudWatch as our primary logging tool. Additionally, in one of our Python projects, we utilized CloudWatch Logs for logging, integrating it with S3 and IAM. This integration allows us to track who uploads files and who modifies code, providing valuable insights into project activity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
