Datadog for Serverless: End-to-end visibility for modern applications

Datadog has announced the general availability of serverless monitoring for AWS Lambda functions. The Serverless view allows users to search, filter, and explore all their AWS Lambda functions in one place, providing detailed performance data for each function. Users can troubleshoot performance issues with distributed traces, collect custom metrics in real-time from serverless functions, and visualize Lambda functions along with their dependencies using the Service Map. Datadog's integration with AWS X-Ray enables users to trace Lambda functions and visualize how requests travel between various components of a serverless architecture. The addition of Lambda tracing complements existing metrics and logs provided by Datadog, allowing users to monitor key business metrics without adding latency to their applications.
