Bring faster visibility into AWS Lambda functions with remote instrumentation

Comprehensive observability is essential for maintaining efficient and secure serverless workloads, but scaling and sustaining visibility across numerous serverless functions can be challenging, particularly when teams use various infrastructure as code (IaC) frameworks and deployment processes. Datadog addresses these challenges by offering a centralized interface for managing AWS Lambda functions, enabling consistent monitoring without requiring code updates. By deploying a remote instrumenter CloudFormation stack, developers can automate the instrumentation process within minutes, ensuring telemetry flows seamlessly and functions are continuously monitored. This approach allows for easy selection and configuration of multiple Lambda functions using tags, maintaining up-to-date settings for tracing and logging, and automatically instrumenting new functions. Datadog's remote instrumentation for AWS Lambda functions offers a streamlined way to balance speed and visibility, ensuring data is available for troubleshooting and monitoring across different teams and services.
