Get deeper visibility into your AWS serverless apps with enhanced distributed tracing

Datadog APM has enhanced its distributed tracing for serverless applications to provide visibility into additional serverless patterns. This includes Span Auto-linking, which automatically identifies traces related to S3 Event Notifications or DynamoDB stream events and connects them to provide end-to-end visibility. Additionally, Datadog now supports enhanced AWS Step Functions trace propagation, allowing users to link up- and downstream Lambda function spans to their state machines and visualize the full execution path of a request in a flame graph or waterfall view. These enhancements aim to provide deeper insights into application performance and enable faster troubleshooting of issues in serverless applications.
