Regarding the tooling: I hated debugging Lambdas via CloudWatch logs when using them for Hustle, it drove me to drink.

I eventually got upset enough that I made a tool to stream the cloudwatch logs to the terminal and colorize, indent + nicely format json output:

There's also https://github.com/rpgreen/apilogs but I haven't yet gotten it to work.

Cloudwatch feels like it was not made for humans. Searching and filtering for specific log events is a huge pain.

I think one of the best things one could do is to pipe your Cloudwatch logs to an ElasticSearch cluster.

Anything where you have to install python is kind of a drag. Same thing with awslogs, etc...

Saw installs as a single binary, is performant, and has better looking output than all of them.

That looks like a nice tool! Will check it out.

Have you tried anything like iopipe for helping debug lambdas?

No I haven’t tried it. I’ll give it a look.
