AWS Lambda and New Relic Serverless at re:Invent: Function Faster with Provisioned Concurrency
Blog post from New Relic
AWS and New Relic have announced new capabilities to enhance serverless computing for New Relic customers using AWS Lambda, including Provisioned Concurrency for AWS Lambda and provisioned concurrency metrics for New Relic Serverless. Provisioned Concurrency allows AWS users to have greater control over the start time of their Lambda functions, keeping them initialized and ready to respond quickly to spikes in demand, while New Relic provides detailed metrics on these functions to help monitor and troubleshoot performance issues. Additionally, New Relic has introduced a command-line interface (CLI) installer for easier observability setup with AWS Lambda, catering to Node.js and Python runtimes, which simplifies the process of configuring and upgrading New Relic layers without code changes. These innovations were highlighted at AWS re:Invent, where New Relic also hosted events to engage the serverless community and promote collaboration among developers building the next generation of serverless applications.
