Abstract	The rise of serverless computing has revolutionized cloud-based application development by offering scalability, cost-efficiency, and operational simplicity. However, the lack of direct access to infrastructure introduces challenges in monitoring and debugging. Observability in serverless environments is crucial for ensuring performance, reliability, and security. AWS CloudWatch provides a powerful suite of monitoring and alerting tools designed to track logs, metrics, and traces across AWS Lambda functions, API Gateway, DynamoDB, and other services. This paper explores strategies for implementing observability in serverless architectures using AWS CloudWatch, covering log aggregation, distributed tracing, anomaly detection, and automated incident response.
