Hidden costs in AWS Lambda deployments can quickly add up, particularly from logs, metrics, and traces. These expenses often catch teams by surprise, impacting budgets and operational efficiency.
That’s where Axiom comes in—a standout observability solution that combines a sleek user experience with competitive pricing and an impressive free tier offering 500GB/month of data ingestion.
Cost Comparison
Switching from AWS CloudWatch to Axiom can lead to substantial cost savings due to the significant price difference between the two services:
Axiom: $0.15/GB of ingested data
AWS CloudWatch: $0.50/GB of ingested data
For example, when managing 5 TB of daily log data, Axiom’s pricing results in a total daily cost of $750 and a monthly cost of $22,500. In contrast, AWS CloudWatch costs $2,650 daily and $79,500 monthly for the same amount of data. This means that by choosing Axiom, companies can save $57,000 per month, which equates to a 70% reduction in costs compared to using CloudWatch.
These savings not only free up budget for other initiatives but also come with the added benefit of Axiom’s more powerful and user-friendly platform for managing and analyzing logs, offering deeper insights and faster problem resolution.
Set Up Axiom with the Serverless FrameworkCreate an Axiom account (Axiom offers a very generous free tier).
Create or join an organization in Axiom–but skip the step to create a Dataset in the Axiom onboarding process, as it will be done automatically and designed per best practices by the Serverless Framework. Instead, click the setting icon in the Dashboard, select API Tokens on the left, and select New API Token.
Enter a name, choose “None” for Expiration, then click the Advanced tab to select the permissions your token should have.
Assign the Ingest, Query, Dashboards, Datasets, and Monitors permissions.
Set the AXIOM_TOKEN environment variable in your CI/CD pipeline or locally. The value should be the API token you created in Axiom.
export AXIOM_TOKEN=your-axiom-access-token
In your serverless.yml file, add the observability property to the stages block, and use axiom as the provider. Here is the easiest way to configure Axiom across all Stages within your serverless application.
