Introducing New Relic Monitoring for AWS Lambda

Since its launch, AWS Lambda has become a widely adopted serverless computing platform, allowing engineers to build and modify functions without managing underlying resources, but it has lacked robust monitoring solutions. Addressing this gap, New Relic has introduced a comprehensive monitoring integration for AWS Lambda within the New Relic One platform, enabling users to effectively monitor, visualize, troubleshoot, and receive alerts on their Lambda functions with detailed performance metrics and error insights. The integration combines CloudWatch data and code-level instrumentation to provide a holistic view of Lambda functions, helping users manage application scaling, control complex environments, and troubleshoot errors efficiently. The New Relic monitoring solution differentiates itself by offering detailed data on function invocations, error rates, and performance, while also supporting distributed tracing to drill down into specific requests and spans that may impact performance. This integration requires configuring AWS accounts to communicate with New Relic and using New Relic agents to instrument Lambda functions, ultimately providing users with a centralized platform to access and analyze AWS Lambda data.
