CloudWatch Synthetics helps you to discover issues before your customers do, by checking for page load errors, load latencies for user interfaces (UI), and broken links or UI navigation flows in your applications. With CloudWatch Synthetics, you can isolate issues and map them back to your underlying infrastructure. You can also use CloudWatch Synthetics to easily monitor internal endpoints in addition to public-facing endpoints.
To get started, open the Amazon CloudWatch Synthetics console, access the delete flow and select from a list the resources that you want to delete. This includes Lambda function, Lambda layers, CloudWatch alarms and IAM execution roles and policies. You can use the AWS CLI, SDK or CloudFormation to delete Lambda functions and Lambda layers.
