New Relic's support for Ruby AWS Lambda functions is now out of beta and the instructions below should be considered out of date. Please see the official documentation for instructions on instrumenting your Lambda functions. When using the New Relic Lambda CLI tool, everything is automated. When manually introducing New Relic to your Lambda functions, please use one of the official New Relic Lambda layers instead of the .zip files contained in these beta test instructions.
These instructions will explain how to enhance an existing Ruby based AWS Lambda function to have it observed by New Relic.
