Improve first-run latency and visualize the latency of server-less function invocations.

LatenSee is a light application which will consistently ping your Lambda functions keeping them warm, and thus providing a faster client experience for your end-users. Point LatenSee to your functions, select an invocation rate and LatenSee will take care of the rest!

Performance at a glance

See all your function's latency from recent invocations and stats about your app's Lambdas

Warm any lambdas

Easily add new endpoints to LatenSee and instantly start keeping them warm

Granular Control

Organize Lambdas into different apps and control invocations uniquely for each function.

In your Lambda functions, add these two lines surrounding function's declaration:

+ let cold=true;
export const handler = async (event) => {
+   if(event.body==='LatenSee'){const body={cold};cold=false;return{statusCode:200,body:JSON.stringify(body)};}cold=false;

  /**
   * Retain all other Lambda Functionality here
   */
  return { statusCode: 200, body: JSON.stringify('Lambda complete') };
};

See below for an explanation of the snippet:

// Declare varible to flag when this is a cold start
let cold = true;

export const handler = async (event) => {
  // If the request is coming from LatenSee, then process it first
  if (event.body === 'LatenSee') {
    // Save status of cold when function runs
    const body = { cold };
    // Set cold to false since we have now run it
    cold = false;
    // return with the cold status
    return { statusCode: 200, body: JSON.stringify(body) };
  }
  // for all other functionality, set cold to false since we have warmed this function
  cold = false;

  /**
   * Retain all other Lambda Functionality here
   */
  return { statusCode: 200, body: JSON.stringify('Lambda complete') };
};
