How to Add Timestamps to sls deploy Output for Better Deployment Insights?

[WSaee]

I'm looking for a way to analyze the time taken by each step of the sls deploy process to identify bottlenecks in my deployment pipeline. While the interactive mode shows a running timer, I need more detailed timestamps for actions like downloading dependencies, building Lambda layers, compiling templates, and waiting for CloudFormation. Using --verbose provides extra logs but no timestamps.

Is there a way to achieve this natively in Serverless Framework or via an external tool? Also, does the solution change when deploying with a Serverless Compose file? Any guidance would be appreciated!

Hi @WSaee 

you can take a look at the apps in the marketplace

that are compatible with free licences.

You can also export the information into excel

and do the calculations in there.

If you are evaluating upgrading into starter or pro

you can have calculated properties and custom reports

to see the time between stages.

Hope this helps
