I built a crypto monitoring platform with serverless — this is how.

In this article, I will explain how I built COINDATAX, a cryptocurrency analytics platform to help investors analyze the market, and explain why we choose to go serverless. I will also explain our biggest pain points with AWS Lambda, and how Dashbird helped us with Lambda performance monitoring.

In addition, since we would like to add as many integrations as possible to our dashboards, we wanted our application to scale linearly with product usage.

Because of Dashbird, we noticed that all our lambdas were running with a third of the allocated memory size and that we could confidently reduce that threshold in order to reduce costs.

By using Dashbird, some of that hurdle can be reduced and maybe even eliminated, so that you end up with only the benefits of serverless and AWS Lambda.
