Deploy Datadog on AWS Elastic Beanstalk

This article discusses how to improve observability of AWS Lambda functions using remote instrumentation—specifically, collecting data outside the function itself. By leveraging tools like AWS X-Ray and OpenTelemetry, developers can gain deeper insights into Lambda performance and troubleshoot issues without modifying application code or relying solely on logs. This approach offers faster visibility and reduced overhead compared to traditional in-function logging and tracing.
