    Create your own Lambda Layer in each OTel language using this starter code. Add the Lambda Layer to your Lamdba Function to get tracing with OpenTelemetry.

    With the sample apps from the opentelemetry-lambda repository the Lambda part itself was easy to implement. What took me some time was to provide the jaeger Fargate service with IaC ouside of an k8s environment. But with ECS and ServiceDiscovery that was easy in the end. This should be even more simple in an EKS environment with the jaegertracing helm-charts.
