Real-time distributed tracing for .NET Lambda functions

In 2020, distributed tracing was released for AWS Lambda functions written in Python, Node.js, and Ruby. Since then, support has been expanded to Java and Go runtimes, and real-time distributed tracing is now available for .NET Lambda functions. This feature, powered by the Datadog Lambda Extension, allows developers to trace all requests across their entire infrastructure with minimal overhead. Tracing .NET Lambda functions can help identify issues such as exception errors and cold starts, which can degrade performance and negatively impact user experience. Datadog APM provides an end-to-end view of requests traversing any component of the infrastructure, enabling users to spot pain points without code or configuration changes. It also helps detect cold starts automatically and supports integration with other serverless telemetry available through Datadog's Lambda Library and Lambda Extension.
