Testing, debugging, and monitoring serverless applications are critical tasks when building and deploying serverless solutions. Developers, engineers, and project managers alike can use this course to discover the most appropriate application, cloud, and automated testing mechanisms, frameworks, and tools for use with serverless implementations. Outline the challenges of testing cloud applications, the role of mock and dummy data in testing APIs, and the prominent testing strategies for local and cloud environments. Learn how to simplify Lambda function testing. Then practice testing and debugging serverless applications using AWS SAM and SAM CLI. Recognize the prominent AWS services for monitoring AWS applications. Explore the AWS Lambda console's role in monitoring AWS Lambda functions. Practice monitoring AWS Lambda functions and applications. Then fetch, tail, filter, and highlight Lambda function errors using AWS SAM CLI commands. Upon completion, you'll be able to discern the best methods for ensuring the smooth running of your serverless applications.
