OpenTelemetry in 2023
36 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 28 Aug 2023

OpenTelemetry is being pushed as a replacement for AWS X-Ray SDKs by AWS, but it's in such a broken state for Lambda right now. A 200-500% performance penalty for using it is insane[1][2].

Serverless Spy Vs. Spy Chapter 2: AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry Lambda vs X-Ray SDK
6 projects | dev.to | 10 Dec 2022

The documentation for Lambda gives example code for the different languages. To shorten the long way from example code to running code, I will show you ready-to-run CDK code for Python, Node and GO with a serverless architecture. With Lambda, we are using the AWS X-Ray exporter in the collector. If you want to build your own layer, clone the repo AWS-managed OpenTelemetry Lambda Layers. To do that, learn GO here. You might know the creator of the site 😉 .
Struggling to connect the dots - ADOT with Lambda using aws-otel-nodejs Lambda layer, not sure how to go from here to using custom instrumentation (e.g. instrumentation-pg, instrumentation-graphql, etc).

Sorry you're having trouble working with the ADOT Lambda Layers :(. Have you had a chance to open an issue on the GitHub repo for OTel Lambda or ADOT Lambda? You should add your expected vs your actual output!
