Case Study: fotograf.de achieves faster error detection and lower AWS Lambda costs with Thundra

fotograf.de uses Thundra to gain insight into errors happening and track them down

fotograf.de (GotPhoto), a Berlin-based CMS and eCommerce company for school and high-volume photography, needed better visibility into its AWS serverless architecture as it scaled on AWS Lambda. The team struggled to identify bottlenecks, root causes of errors, and customer-specific issues in frequently invoked production functions, especially when trying to trace problems using photo or photographer IDs.

Thundra provided the observability and tagging capabilities fotograf.de needed to inspect Lambda invocations by customer and track logs automatically by function, project, and log level. With Thundra, fotograf.de improved overall system health, reduced average Lambda duration, cut errors by 82%, and lowered Lambda costs by 55%, making it their default tool for development, testing, and monitoring.
