new-relic-aws-lambda-integration

Native AWS tooling support. Discover patterns for injecting the New Relic agent and extension into your CloudFormation templates and CDK constructs ensuring observability is baked in at the build phase.

Streamline deployment. Utilize the serverless-newrelic-lambda-layers plugin to automatically inject instrumentation during your sls deploy process, keeping your serverless.yml clean and efficient.

Automate observability. Use the newrelic Terraform provider to manage alert policies and entity tags, and learn to attach Lambda layers purely through Infrastructure as Code (IaC).

Sleep soundly. We define the essential alerts every serverless team needs, including error rate spikes, throttling events, dead letter queue depth, and excessive duration warnings.

Static thresholds fail in dynamic environments. Configure alerts that learn your traffic patterns and only notify you when behavior deviates significantly from the norm, reducing alert fatigue.

Master the query language. Learn specific NRQL commands to query ServerlessSample data, calculating average duration, error rates, and throughput for specific functions or regions.

Add business context to code. Learn to tag invocations with data like userID or cartValue using recordCustomEvent, allowing you to connect technical performance directly to business outcomes.

Stop guessing memory settings. Use the "Power Tuning" approach to visualize the relationship between allocated memory and duration, finding the sweet spot where performance meets cost efficiency.

The serverless nemesis. Differentiate between initialization overhead and execution time. We analyze how bundle size and layers impact cold starts and when it is worth paying for Provisioned Concurrency.

Cut through the noise. Create drop filters to ignore useless platform logs (like START or REPORT lines) and focus strictly on application logic errors to save on storage and ingestion costs.
