This post explores the importance of distributed tracing for operating serverless applications and announces an important update to tracing behavior for AWS Lambda, which streamlines how trace context is handled in PassThrough mode. This blog post will demonstrate how this change gives you better control over how your Lambda functions handle tracing with AWS X-Ray through practical examples. Whether you’re building new applications or operating existing ones, this update helps you achieve more predictable and efficient tracing across your serverless applications built using Lambda.
