New Relic and AWS Lambda Integration - Instrumentation Strategies - The Easy Way (Layers)
The no-code approach. Learn to inject the New Relic agent using AWS Lambda Layers. This allows you to add observability to Node, Python, and Java functions without changing a single line of your business code.
New Relic and AWS Lambda Integration - The New Relic Lambda CLI
Stop clicking around the console. Master the newrelic-lambda-cli tool to onboard functions, attach layers, and verify permissions purely from your command line interface, speeding up bulk integrations.
New Relic and AWS Lambda Integration - Linking AWS and New Relic
The foundational handshake. Learn to configure the AWS IAM Role for access and set up Kinesis Firehose Metric Streams to pipe CloudWatch data into New Relic with minimal latency and setup time.
New Relic and AWS Lambda Integration - Architecture of the Integration
Understand how New Relic "sees" into AWS. We compare the high-latency API Polling method against the real-time Metric Streams approach and explain the critical role of the Lambda Extension sidecar in shipping data.
New Relic and AWS Lambda Integration - Key Metrics that Matter
Move beyond simple success/failure. We will deep dive into serverless-specific KPIs like Cold Starts, billed duration vs. actual duration, and memory utilization to truly measure the health of your functions.
New Relic and AWS Lambda Integration - The "Black Box" Problem
Traditional monitoring fails when servers are ephemeral. Learn why standard server metrics disappear in Lambda environments and why you need visibility inside the execution cycle itself to catch issues that vanish when the container dies.
