Tag: AWS Lambda Extensions

An integral component to most serverless architectures is AWS Lambda, the compute service that lets you run code for virtually any type of application without provisioning or managing servers. Fastly has extended its Next-Gen WAF to Lambda functions, supporting customers looking to embed additional layers of security into their serverless workloads. Fastly’s Next-Gen WAF supports numerous other deployment scenarios including virtual machines, containers, and web servers.

As serverless architectures start to grow, finding the right troubleshooting approach becomes a business-critical aspect. In this post, dive into the “instrumentation approach” and how to keep track of internal events within an AWS Lambda function, and how to export processed telemetry data. Lumigo shares a practical guide on how to use AWS Lambda Extensions and follow a storyline of extracting internal events from Lambda functions, processing them, and sending telemetry data to external services.
