TranscriptAnnouncer: Hello, and welcome to Screaming in the Cloud with your host, Chief Cloud Economist at The Duckbill Group, Corey Quinn. This weekly show features conversations with people doing interesting work in the world of cloud, thoughtful commentary on the state of the technical world, and ridiculous titles for which Corey refuses to apologize. This is Screaming in the Cloud.Corey: This episode is sponsored by ExtraHop. ExtraHop provides threat detection and response for the Enterprise (not the starship). On-prem security doesn’t translate well to cloud or multi-cloud environments, and that’s not even counting IoT. ExtraHop automatically discovers everything inside the perimeter, including your cloud workloads and IoT devices, detects these threats up to 35 percent faster, and helps you act immediately.

If you’ve built anything from serverless, you know that if there’s one thing that can be said universally about these applications, it’s that it turns every outage into a murder mystery. Lumigo helps make sense of all of the various functions that wind up tying together to build applications.It offers one-click distributed tracing so you can effortlessly find and fix issues in your serverless and microservices environment. You’ve created more problems for yourself; make one of them go away. To learn more, visit lumigo.io.Corey: Welcome to Screaming in the Cloud. I’m Corey Quinn. I periodically talk about how I bolt together a whole bunch of different serverless tools in horrifying ways to write my newsletter every week. At last count, I was up to something like four API Gateways, twenty-nine Lambda functions, and counting. How do I figure out if something’s broken in there? Well, honestly, I just keep clicking the button until it works, which is a depressingly honest story.Now, that doesn’t work for everyone. Today’s promoted episode is brought to us by Lumigo. And my guest today is Aviad Mor, their CTO, and co-founder. Aviad, thanks for taking the time to suffer my slings and arrows.Aviad: Thank you, Corey. I’m very glad to be here today.Corey: So, let’s begin at, I guess, the very easy, high-level question: what is Lumigo and is ‘loom-ago’ an accepted alternate pronunciation?Aviad: [laugh]. So, Lumigo is a monitoring and debugging platform for serverless environments. And yes, you can call it whatever you want as long as it’s Lu-mi-go. What we do is we integrate with the customer’s AWS account, we do a very quick connection to its Lambdas, and then we’re able to show him exactly what’s going on in his system: what’s going well, what’s going wrong, and how we can fix it.Corey: So, let’s make sure that we hit a few points here at the beginning. It is AWS specific at this time?Aviad: Yes, it is. We’re not officially exclusive with AWS, but right now we see the most interesting serverless environments in AWS, so it’s a pretty easy call. But we are keeping our eye open to, you know, Google, Microsoft, even Oracle.Corey: Oh, Oracle Cloud has some phenomenally interesting serverless stories that I don’t think the world is paying enough attention to yet. But one of these days, I’m hoping that that’s going to change just because they have so much savvy locked up in that platform.Aviad: Right. They do have serverless functions. Yeah, so.Corey: They acquired the iron.io folks a while back, and those people were way ahead of Lambda at the time.Aviad: Right, right. So, we’re waiting for th
