See Every Lambda Invocation, Even the Ones That Never Finish
Blog post from Dash0
Dash0, an evolution of Lumigo's serverless observability platform, provides comprehensive AWS Lambda support through native OpenTelemetry integration, streamlining the process of monitoring and debugging Lambda functions. It simplifies the setup process, requiring only a five-minute CloudFormation setup without storing credentials, and offers tools like invocation counts, error rates, cold start metrics, and payload capture. The Dash0 Lambda Extension automatically generates full traces for every invocation, capturing detailed spans, event sources, and batch record counts while supporting Python, Node.js, and Java without manual code adjustments. It effectively manages event payloads by capturing and attaching the full event that triggers a function to its trace, thereby eliminating the need for extra logging during debugging. Moreover, Dash0 ensures seamless trace context propagation across AWS services such as SQS, SNS, EventBridge, and Kinesis, maintaining connected traces and providing synthetic traces for detecting timeouts and out-of-memory failures. This comprehensive suite of features allows users to maintain visibility and manageability of their serverless functions efficiently across multiple regions and accounts.
