Serverless architecture is an exciting mainstay of cloud computing. Amazon's Web Services (AWS) Lambda is a giant in the serverless space and is widely utilized by various companies. Its event-driven paradigm to building distributed, on-demand infrastructure is also cost-effective since Lambda functions are billed only when they are executed. This reduces the physical need for servers, eliminating expensive hosting costs just to keep a server running even if it’s not in use. One issue is that navigating through the AWS console can be daunting and frustrating. Specifically, to measure a user's lambda functions, there are too many options and this massive flexibility proves cumbersome when one only needs to visualize specific metrics at a glance.
As a way to solve this, we built Astro: a free, open-source lambda function monitoring tool that users can connect to their AWS account to securely and easily monitor and track key metrics.

If you are a developer trying to add/improve functionality, you can skip step 4 and go to step 5. If you are an AWS end user, do not worry about step 5.
- Fork and clone the forked repo
git clone <your-forked-repo>
cd Astro- Install package devDependencies
npm install- If you are an AWS End User then use the following command to build the application and the necessary .env template file, which you should fill in with your AWS credentials (region, security key id, and access key id).
npm run build- Afterwards, you can run Astro by using the following command and then navigating to localhost:1111 in your browser
npm run start- If you are a developer trying to add/improve functionality, instead of step 4 you should use the following command to run Astro in development and navigate to localhost:8080 in your browser to take advantage of hot module reloading.
npm run devThe key AWS Lambda function metrics we focused on are: throttles, invocations, and errors. One can see their total metric values in Account Totals. To see metrics by function, click the Functions tab to see a list of your lambda functions and the associated metrics for each function. Within the function tab, users can visualize their metrics over a specific time period using the drop down menu. This will also update the account total metrics in the account total tab.
