How to monitor DataBricks with Amazon CloudWatch

Importance of Monitoring Systems

Software engineers often forget the importance of monitoring systems that run their infrastructure. When things go wrong, they do not have the tools to detect and react to issues fast enough. This can be dangerous because it may take them hours or even days to notice and correct the problem. And during those hours or days, the service may be unavailable. So they can lose a lot of business. You can read more on how to monitor applications with AWS effectively.

DataBricks Lakehouse

The Databricks Lakehouse platform offers users a way to manage their data in one place - on-premises or on the cloud - while enabling organizations to use AI, ML, and IoT solutions from the same platform.

You don't need to build a new architecture or software when you have data in the lake. You get full access to the data - whether it resides in the cloud or on-premise. Your users can easily access and share data using the tools and APIs they already know. And the platform is designed so that users can evolve quickly, with minimal effort and time commitment, while avoiding the risk of investing time and money in building a separate data warehouse.

AWS CloudWatch

An AWS account allows you to use the resources of the cloud, including the elasticity, security, availability, and scalability of your applications. Amazon CloudWatch is a part of the AWS family that assists in monitoring, alerting, and collecting analytics for our AWS environments.
