Sending OpenTelemetry Data From AWS Lambda to Honeycomb

Honeycomb

In this post, I describe how to send OpenTelemetry (OTel) data from an AWS Lambda instance to Honeycomb. I will be showing these steps using a Lambda written in Python and created and deployed using AWS Serverless Application Model (AWS SAM). Add OTel and Honeycomb environment variables to your template configuration for your Lambda.

Learning Lambda — Part 9

Mike Roberts

Scaling and State This is Part 9 of Learning Lambda, a tutorial series about engineering using AWS Lambda. So far in this series we’ve only been talking about processing a small number of events with Lambda, one after the other. Finally I mention Lambda’s limited, but not trivial, vertical scaling capability.

AWS Microservices Architecture – Enabling Faster Application Development

RapidValue

In an effort to avoid the pitfalls that come with monolithic applications, Microservices aim to break your architecture into loosely-coupled components (or, services) that are easier to update independently, improve, scale and manage.
