Serverless Framework Plugin: Get Instant Visibility

Home Blog Serverless Framework Plugin: Get Instant Visibility

Observability is a common challenge for serverless applications and we believe Lumigo is perfectly positioned to help you tackle this problem. As such, I’m pleased to announce that we have published a new Serverless framework plugin to make it even easier for you to get started.

How to install the Serverless Framework Plugin

Simply install serverless-lumigo as a dev dependency.

$ npm install –save-dev serverless-lumigo

Add the plugin to your serverless.yml and tell us your Lumigo token.

plugins:
  - serverless-lumigo

custom:
  lumigo:
    token: <YOUR TOKEN GOES HERE>

And you’re off to the races! From here, the plugin will download the Lumigo tracer and apply it to your functions during deployment. We will then start monitoring your functions at runtime.

Currently, the Serverless Framework plugin works for Node.js and Python, and we’ve been using it heavily in our own internal projects (yes, we monitor Lumigo’s own infrastructure with Lumigo!).

And if you’re eager to try out Lumigo with other language runtimes, please do let us know by raising a feature request here.
