AWS Lambda enables engineering teams to build modern, scalable services without the need to provision underlying infrastructure resources. But monitoring Lambda functions requires visibility into performance indicators that differ from those of traditional architectures—and cold starts are a key example.

Over the past few years, AWS has made incremental improvements to Lambda’s cold start performance. Nowadays, cold starts are much less an issue for most functions, unless you’re using Java or.Net Core.

At Lumigo, we keep improving the coverage and quality of our distributed tracing instrumentation to give you, through Lumigo’s transactions, the most accurate and intuitive representation of how your distributed system behaves. In this blog, we cover a recent development for the Amazon SQS instrumentation in Lumigo’s OpenTelemetry distro for Python, providing a seamless experience for a scenario that otherwise would result in confusing, broken transactions and lost insights.

The critical use case for BAM is to provide a simplified business-friendly view of the integrated processes that are key to your business. In business today, Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is a trending technology. While it has been around for quite a long time, it has gained a significant boost in popularity alongside the popularity of citizen developer and maker use cases.

In 2021, we partnered with AWS to develop the Datadog Lambda extension which provides a simple, cost-effective way for teams to collect traces, logs, custom metrics, and enhanced metrics from Lambda functions and submit them to Datadog.

Observability in serverless computing environments, such as AWS Lambda, has always been a challenge.

The Lambda Telemetry API empowers users to integrate monitoring and observability tools like Site24x7 with their Lambda functions. Site24x7 is an AWS-reviewed Lambda Service Ready Program Partner and is announced as a launch partner in AWS Lambda Telemetry API feature release. Customers, AWS partners, and the serverless community can use the Lambda Telemetry API to receive telemetry streams from the Lambda service, including function, extension logs, and metrics coming from the Lambda platform.

Back in 2020, we covered the launch of Lambda Extensions and the subsequent release of the Lambda Logs API. These features aren’t designed for the average Lambda user. But they allow vendors to build better tools by giving them much-needed access to the Lambda execution environment.
