Beta test instructions for observing Ruby based AWS Lambda functions with New Relic

Beta test instructions for observing Ruby based AWS Lambda functions with New Relic

Synopsis

These instructions will explain how to enhance an existing Ruby based AWS Lambda function to have it observed by New Relic.

No Ruby expertise will be required, and any existing Ruby based AWS Lambda functions being observed will not need to have their source code altered.

The observability works through the association of an AWS Lamdba layer with any Lambda function that needs to be observed.
