Summary

The Datadog platform has announced the general availability of its serverless monitoring feature, allowing users to search, filter, and explore all their AWS Lambda functions in one place. This feature provides detailed performance data for each function, including metrics, logs, and distributed traces. With this addition, customers can troubleshoot performance issues with distributed traces, collect custom metrics in real-time from serverless functions, and visualize the bigger picture in the Service Map, which visualizes Lambda functions along with their dependencies. The platform also enables tracing of Lambda functions with X-Ray, allowing users to zero in on the source of errors or slowdowns and see how performance impacts user experience. Additionally, customers can track business goals with real-time custom metrics and instrument Lambda functions for tracing without requiring code changes.
