A new press release reports, “Instana, the leading provider of real-time application performance management solutions for microservice and cloud-native applications, today announced the ability to trace serverless Node.js functions running on AWS Lambda. The new capabilities, which require zero code modification, deliver superior native serverless tracing automatically, providing performance metrics beyond, and independently from, X-Ray. ‘As companies continue to push the envelope in creating smaller, more dynamic services, developers will use serverless functions more often, and in more critical applications,’ said Mirko Novakovic, co-founder and CEO of Instana. ‘By providing Native Node.js tracing on AWS Lambda, Instana helps application stakeholders like DevOps see how individual functions are performing call by call, but also provides the necessary details developers need to make their code perform as expected’.”

The release continues, “The new capabilities are an extension of Instana’s unique AutoTrace™ feature, which captures end-to-end distributed traces of all requests with no sampling. The new serverless monitoring and tracing feature is included with Instana’s Application Performance Management solution for microservice and cloud-native applications, with no additional cost. ‘Application environments and the technologies utilized in these environments are always going to improve with advancements in platforms,’ said Pavlo Baron, Instana CTO and co-founder. ‘Instana is committed to providing the most comprehensive visibility into applications and application platforms, all with the same best-in-class automation that our users have come to expect’.”
