AWS Observability

Overview

Domain expertise for AWS observability across metrics, logs, and traces, covering the full lifecycle: enabling/onboarding a service to Application Signals using ADOT (AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry) auto-instrumentation SDKs and ServiceEvents — making the service show up in Application Signals — on EC2, ECS, EKS, and Lambda in Python, Node.js, Java, and .NET.

Works best with the AWS MCP server — enables running CLI commands, querying CloudWatch, and validating configurations directly. All guidance also works with standard AWS CLI access.

Note: Reference files contain specific runtime versions, quota values, and feature matrices that may change. When precision matters (e.g., deploying to production, choosing a runtime, or checking a quota), confirm values against current AWS documentation rather than relying solely on the values in these files.
