Official Sentry SDK for Serverless environments

General

This package is a wrapper around @sentry/node, with added functionality related to various Serverless solutions. All methods available in @sentry/node can be imported from @sentry/aws-serverless.

Currently supported environment:

AWS Lambda

To use this SDK, call Sentry.init(options) at the very beginning of your JavaScript file.

import * as Sentry from '@sentry/aws-serverless';

Sentry.init({
  dsn: '__DSN__',
  // ...
});

// async (recommended)
exports.handler = Sentry.wrapHandler(async (event, context) => {
  throw new Error('oh, hello there!');
});

// sync
exports.handler = Sentry.wrapHandler((event, context, callback) => {
  throw new Error('oh, hello there!');
});

If you also want to trace performance of all the incoming requests and also outgoing AWS service requests, just set the tracesSampleRate option.

import * as Sentry from '@sentry/aws-serverless';

Sentry.AWSLambda.init({
  dsn: '__DSN__',
  tracesSampleRate: 1.0,
});

Integrate Sentry using internal extension

Another and much simpler way to integrate Sentry to your AWS Lambda function is to add an official layer.

1. Choose Layers -> Add Layer.
2. Specify an ARN: arn:aws:lambda:us-west-1:TODO:layer:TODO:VERSION.
3. Go to Environment variables and add:
   • NODE_OPTIONS: -r @sentry/aws-serverless/build/npm/cjs/awslambda-auto.
   • SENTRY_DSN: your dsn.
   • SENTRY_TRACES_SAMPLE_RATE: a number between 0 and 1 representing the chance a transaction is sent to Sentry. For more information, see docs.
