OpenTelemetry Lambda Layers

The OpenTelemetry Lambda Layers provide the OpenTelemetry (OTel) code to export telemetry asynchronously from AWS Lambdas. It does this by embedding a stripped-down version of OpenTelemetry Collector Contrib inside an AWS Lambda Extension Layer.

Some layers include the corresponding OTel language SDK for the Lambda. This allows Lambdas to use OpenTelemetry to send traces and metrics to any configured backend.

FAQ

  • What exporters/recievers/processors are included from the OpenTelemetry Collector?

    You can check out the stripped-down collector's imports in this repository for a full list of currently included components.

  • Is the Lambda layer provided or do I need to build it and distribute it myself?

    This repository does not provide pre-build Lambda layers. They must be built manually and saved in your AWS account. This repo has files to facilitate doing that. More information is provided in the Collector folder's README.
