“What if CloudWatch’s web page didn’t suck?” is the question Corey pondered on until he came across Cloudash, which solved it for him. Today’s guest is Tomasz Łakomy, Head of React at Cloudash. Corey and Tomasz begin by discussing the challenges of monitoring and troubleshooting serverless applications, and how Cloudash was created with these in mind. Cloudash is a monitoring and troubleshooting tool for serverless applications. Corey and Tomasz discuss Tomasz’s “day job” at Stedi and how the work culture there nurtures many successful “side gigs,” such as Cloudash, by employees. They go on to talk about the merits and challenges of cloud provider certifications, using different types of code with CDK, and public speaking at tech events! They conclude the conversation by touching on the overlap between engineering and marketing.
