Using serverless python scripts to increase efficiency for troubleshooting applications

Shashank Shekhar Tewari (~shashank_shekhar)


Description:

The talk will aim to educate people on troubleshooting and how we can eventually automate this. 'Visual' grep is often time consuming and is prone to human errors - if we can offload this work to scripts and bots, we not only save time, we also prevent human errors from creeping in. For customers using an application, a tool like this would help in finding solutions to problems even before raising cases with the support team..

Some of the topics we'll cover are:

Basics of troubleshooting

  • Log analysis of a typical application, like postfix
  • Implementation of this in a serverless environment
  • Creating an endpoint which can be contacted with a problem is found with the server

Prerequisites:

Basic knowledge of python.
