Summary

AWS and New Relic are introducing three new capabilities for customers using AWS Lambda and New Relic Serverless: Provisioned Concurrency for AWS Lambda, provisioned concurrency metrics for New Relic Serverless, and a new CLI installer for New Relic Serverless. Provisioned Concurrency gives users greater control over the start time of their Lambda functions, allowing them to keep functions initialized and hyper-ready to respond in double-digit milliseconds. This feature provides a new pricing dimension that pays for keeping functions initialized, and can be enabled or disabled through various AWS management console options. New Relic Serverless will provide detailed metrics on functions using Provisioned Concurrency, including serverless performance insights and end-to-end visibility of components impacting function execution. Additionally, New Relic's CLI installer makes it easier to instrument observability into serverless applications, allowing developers and operations teams to install and configure the New Relic AWS Lambda Layer directly from the CLI.
