X-Ray tracing for AWS Rust SDK in Lambda runtime
Thursday, 09 March 2023, 01:20
Rust becomes more and more widely used in many places and AWS cloud is no exception. With AWS SDK for Rust (currently in preview) and Rust runtime for Lambda it's possible to build regular Lambda functions. Rust gives those serverless components safety and runtime speed but it's still quite new and ecosystem around Rust for AWS Lambda does not cover all features from other SDKs. One of such missing features is good X-Ray integration. There is no fully-flagged instrumentation for Rust SDK and if you search for solutions how to include such tracing in Rust projects using SDK… you will find planty of different solutions and there is high chance that none of them is what you are looking for.
