- Quadient
A custom audit event collector improved operational traceability while reducing the overhead of every serverless invocation.
10,000/sevents processed
7–30 mssaved per invocation
≈ 30%lower load
Starting point
What needed to change
The system needed to automate audit and error records at a high volume of events. The existing solution added both cost and latency, and had to comply with personal data protection rules.
Our responsibility
How we approached the solution
We analysed the tool in use and replaced it with a custom mechanism designed for AWS serverless. We optimised both the logger and the event processing.
