Scaling and State This is Part 9 of Learning Lambda, a tutorial series about engineering using AWS Lambda. So far in this series we’ve only been talking about processing a small number of events with Lambda, one after the other. Finally I mention Lambda’s limited, but not trivial, vertical scaling capability.

I will be showing these steps using a Lambda written in Python and created and deployed using AWS Serverless Application Model (AWS SAM). Add OTel and Honeycomb environment variables to your template configuration for your Lambda.

I thought a few folks might be interested.
