Amazon CodeGuru Profiler simplifies profiling for AWS Lambda functions

Posted on: Nov 9, 2020

Amazon CodeGuru Profiler helps developers improve application performance and reduce costs by pinpointing an application’s most expensive line of code, and providing recommendations on how to improve code to save money. 

Today, we are announcing a simpler way to enable Amazon CodeGuru Profiler for AWS Lambda functions that removes the need to change any code or redeploy packages. With this new approach, customers will simply add a layer to their AWS Lambda function using a well-known ARN, and then set environment variables to enable profiling. This new feature applies to any AWS Lambda function using Amazon Corretto as their JVM of choice.

Amazon CodeGuru is a developer tool powered by machine learning that provides intelligent recommendations for improving code quality and identifying an applications’ most expensive lines of code.
