Q. What limitations or caveats should I consider when using DevOps Guru for serverless?

A:

  • Insights may take time (hours) to appear, because the system needs baseline data

  • If your traffic is sparse, anomalies may not be sufficiently distinct

  • False positives or noise can happen, so inspect recommendations carefully

  • DevOps Guru is not a replacement for alerting — you may still want CloudWatch alarms for critical thresholds

  • Pricing: you pay for resource analysis and API calls; only “analyzed resources” are billed.

Only certain AWS services are supported out-of-the-box; for custom metrics or external services you may need extra instrumentation
