AWS Lambda extensions, a new feature from Amazon Web Services (AWS), represent a major step forward, allowing developers to run monitoring and security tools alongside their function code without complex installation processes or configuration management. For teams using Datadog's AWS Lambda extension, this can translate to saved time and money.
"We build on serverless for maximum development velocity, simplicity and scalability," said Zack Kanter, CEO and founder, Stedi.com. "Datadog's serverless monitoring capabilities are best-in-class and we were confident that it would scale with our growth. With their extension for AWS Lambda, we're able to use our metrics, traces, and logs to identify and resolve issues at the operational speed we require."
"We are delighted to see Datadog's monitoring platform extend to support AWS Lambda extensions," said David Richardson, Vice President, Serverless, AWS.
