However, Redis systems are not “set-and-forget.” Maintaining operational excellence requires careful monitoring of critical metrics to detect early signs of performance degradation, resource exhaustion, or failures. 

In this blog, we learn how to monitor Redis directly using Open Telemetry Collector’s Redis receiver, without relying on a separate Redis Exporter.

Trigger Jenkins Job using AWS Lambda triggered by S3 Event

The problem that we faced:

There was a cron scheduled in our environment at a particular time which used to run at 8AM. This cron read data from the s3 bucket and used to succeed but failed when there were no objects present.

  • No manual intervention will be required in case the file from one service is delayed by a minute or an hour due to any reason. 
  • Data exchange and processing between teams become more efficient and less error-prone.
  • Eliminates the need of checking the presence of files on S3. It all gets automated.
