Ever dreamed of being able to visualize and analyze your entire AWS application at a glance? With the new 3.0 (alpha) of sls-mentor, it is now possible!

sls-mentor is a free and open-source tool that generates an interactive graph of your AWS application. This graph contains all the interactions between components of your app (Lambda functions, DynamoDB tables, S3 buckets...).

  • Lambda Cold start duration 🏎
  • Lambda Bundle size 📦

  • DynamoDB table size 📊
  • And more to come! ✨
