Reduce costs and enhance security with cross-region Datadog connectivity using AWS PrivateLink

This article discusses how to gain deeper insights into AWS Lambda function performance using remote instrumentation—specifically, tools like OpenTelemetry. By instrumenting Lambda functions remotely, developers can avoid packaging and deploying observability code with their functions, leading to faster deployments and reduced function size. This approach allows for dynamic configuration and avoids the need to redeploy functions to update monitoring or tracing.
