Custom built monitoring on top of CloudWatch logs: we subscribe to the log groups and parse the logs.
Errors are reported in dedicated slack channels
The “MVP” was built in 1 week after we were faced with an outrageous bill from an observability vendor and decided to give a shot at implementing it ourselves.
In total I’d say that we invested 2 additional weeks of man-hour to get to where we are today.
It has worked extremely well for us and has needed little maintenance (granted we pay AWS to not have to do that maintenance)
