Amazon CloudWatch is a management and monitoring service designed for AWS and other infrastructure resources or on-premises applications. It is the official metrics monitoring tool for Amazon Web Services. Using CloudWatch, you can access all your performance and operational metrics in a single platform, helping you overcome the challenge of monitoring multiple systems. CloudWatch helps you monitor your entire stack — including applications, infrastructure, and services — thus freeing up valuable resources to allow you to focus on building applications.
You can use CloudWatch Container Insights to monitor and troubleshoot your applications and microservices. CloudWatch collects, aggregates, and summarizes computer utilization information; like CPU and memory usage, network data history, and also monitoring diagnostic information. Container Insights provides you with details about container management services, such as: Amazon ECS for Kubernetes (EKS), Amazon's Elastic Container Service (ECS), etc.
The brilliant thing about Amazon Cloudwatch is that it is your gatekeeper to data and metrics for all your Amazon applications and services. However, monitoring more than the standard set of metrics can become very expensive with CloudWatch. CloudWatch custom metrics are very expensive and they should be used sparingly. For example, if a company is monitoring their AWS systems with the standard CloudWatch dashboards, it might cost around 1000 USD a month. However, if you’re monitoring hundreds of thousands of metrics related to a new launch, AWS CloudWatch could quickly rack up to 50,000 USD a month.
That's why it's such a vital integration point for MetricFire. MetricFire treats all metrics the same, so if you’re monitoring thousands of specialized metrics, you’ll still pay the same basic rate for those metrics. CloudWatch can be integrated with MetricFire, so you can pull your AWS metrics into the MetricFire platform. Then, you can get low-cost metrics scaling, while still being able to monitor your AWS metrics all in a single pane of glass. MetricFire's advanced filtering lets you choose only the data views you want to see and discard the rest. You can also set up simple rules to discard data you no longer need to keep, plus receive alerts via email or Slack.
Amazon Redshift is a Data Warehouse product provided by AWS. Every interaction you have with your clients generates countless data points. With the right tools, you can harness the power of that data to optimize the customer experience.
Amazon Redshift makes setting up your data center simple. No need to invest resources in costly hardware that requires storage space. Your Amazon Redshift data center exists in the cloud - and every step is managed for you from start to finish.
You can rely on Amazon Redshift for the setup, operation, and scaling of your data warehouse. That includes specialized tasks such as provisioning capacity, monitoring, backup, software patches, and upgrading. Whether you have a few hundred gigabytes of data or more than a petabyte, Amazon Redshift is a seamless, secure solution for your data center needs.
Why Do Performance Monitoring with Amazon Redshift?
Plenty of cloud-based data services can meet basic needs, but Amazon Redshift offers something more. Users remain loyal, because Amazon Redshift can be trusted to keep data secure. Better still, it is fast and easy to use.
Amazon Redshift clients enjoy a variety of exclusive features related to cluster access and security. Application developers trust the platform because encrypted data and connections are guaranteed.
Simply create a data warehouse by launching a set of nodes, which are referred to as an Amazon Redshift cluster. Provision your cluster, then upload your data set and perform necessary data analysis queries and monitoring.
The size of the data set does not matter: Amazon Redshift is best known for its fast query performance. App developers who are familiar with SQL-based tools and business intelligence applications find it simple and efficient.
You can track the performance and overall health of your databases using the Amazon CloudWatch metrics. These are particularly helpful in monitoring CPU utilization, latency, and throughput.
