AWS CloudWatch Synthetics adds safe canary updates and automatic retries
Today, CloudWatch Synthetics, which allows monitoring of customer workflows on websites through periodically running custom code scripts, announces two new features: canary safe updates and automatic retries for failing canaries. The former allows you to test updates for your existing canaries before applying changes and the latter enables canaries to automatically attempt additional retries when a scheduled run fails, helping to differentiate between genuine and intermittent failures. Canary safe updates helps minimize potential monitoring disruptions caused by erroneous updates. By doing a dry run you can verify canary compatibility with newly released runtimes, or with any configuration or code changes. It minimizes potential monitoring gaps by maintaining continuous monitoring during update processes and mitigates risk to end user experience in the process of keeping canaries up-to-date. The automatic retries feature helps in reducing false alarms. When enabled, it provides more reliable monitoring results by distinguishing between persistent issues and intermittent failures preventing unnecessary disruption. Users can analyze temporary failures using the canary runs graph, which employs color-coded points to represent scheduled runs and their retries. You can start using these features by accessing CloudWatch Synthetics through the AWS Management Console, AWS CLI, or CloudFormation. Dry runs for safe canary updates and automatic retries are are priced the same as regular canary runs and are available in all commercial AWS Regions. To learn more about https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/monitoring/performing-safe-canary-upgrades.html and automatic retries visit the linked Amazon CloudWatch Synthetics documentation.

CloudWatch provides execution plan capture for Aurora PostgreSQL
Amazon CloudWatch Database Insights now collects the query execution plans of top SQL queries running on Aurora PostgreSQL instances, and stores them over time. This feature helps you identify if a change in the query execution plan is the cause of performance degradation or a stalled query. Execution plan capture for Aurora PostgreSQL is available exclusively in the Advanced mode of CloudWatch Database Insights. A query execution plan is a sequence of steps that database engines use to retrieve or modify data in a relational database management system (RDBMS). The RDBMS query optimizers may not always choose the most optimal execution plan from a set of alternative ways to execute a given query. Hence, database users sometimes need to manually examine and tune the plans to improve performance. This feature allows you to visualize multiple plans of a SQL query and compare them. It can help you determine if a change in performance of a SQL query is due to a different query execution plan within minutes. You can get started with this feature by enabling Database Insights Advanced mode on your Aurora PostgreSQL clusters using the RDS service console, AWS APIs, or the AWS SDK. CloudWatch Database Insights delivers database health monitoring aggregated at the fleet level, as well as instance-level dashboards for detailed database and SQL query analysis.
