  • 3-min read

Dynatrace simplifies serverless monitoring by leveraging automatic, end-to-end observability for AWS Lambda functions through distributed tracing, log correlation, and AI-powered insights—without requiring code changes. This delivers real-time visibility into performance and dependencies, helping teams proactively resolve issues and reduce downtime.

Integrations

AWS Lambda instrumentation is available for the following runtimes:

  • Python
  • Node.js
  • Java
  • .NET

For more details, see Technology support.

Monitoring consumption

For AWS Lambda, monitoring consumption is based on Davis data units. See Serverless monitoring for details.

Incoming calls

For AWS Lambda invocations, Dynatrace offers generic support for all trigger types. Additional information is added for invocations via:

  • AWS SDK Lambda Invoke API
  • API gateway
  • Lambda function URL
  • AWS SQS
  • AWS SNS
  • AWS EventBridge

For other invocation types, OneAgent can't capture any specific information or connect the trace to any parent. Invocations via the AWS SDK require the client to be instrumented with Dynatrace to connect the trace.
