What is @aws-lambda-powertools/metrics?

@aws-lambda-powertools/metrics is an npm package designed to simplify the creation and management of custom metrics in AWS Lambda functions. It provides utilities to easily capture and publish metrics to Amazon CloudWatch, enabling better observability and monitoring of serverless applications.

What are @aws-lambda-powertools/metrics's main functionalities?

Creating Custom Metrics

This feature allows you to create custom metrics and publish them to CloudWatch. The code sample demonstrates how to add metrics for successful invocations and processing time, and then publish them.

const { Metrics, MetricUnits } = require('@aws-lambda-powertools/metrics');

const metrics = new Metrics();

exports.handler = async (event) => {
  metrics.addMetric('SuccessfulInvocations', MetricUnits.Count, 1);
  metrics.addMetric('ProcessingTime', MetricUnits.Milliseconds, 200);
  await metrics.publishStoredMetrics();
  return { statusCode: 200, body: 'Metrics published' };
};

Namespace and Dimensions

This feature allows you to set a namespace and dimensions for your metrics, which helps in organizing and filtering them in CloudWatch. The code sample shows how to set a namespace and dimensions for a payment service.

const { Metrics, MetricUnits } = require('@aws-lambda-powertools/metrics');

const metrics = new Metrics({ namespace: 'MyApp', dimensions: { Service: 'Payment' } });

exports.handler = async (event) => {
  metrics.addMetric('PaymentSuccess', MetricUnits.Count, 1);
  await metrics.publishStoredMetrics();
  return { statusCode: 200, body: 'Payment metrics published' };
};

Automatic Cold Start Metric

This feature automatically captures a cold start metric, which is useful for understanding the performance impact of cold starts in your Lambda functions. The code sample demonstrates how to enable this feature.

const { Metrics, MetricUnits } = require('@aws-lambda-powertools/metrics');

const metrics = new Metrics({ captureColdStartMetric: true });

exports.handler = async (event) => {
  metrics.addMetric('HandlerInvoked', MetricUnits.Count, 1);
  await metrics.publishStoredMetrics();
  return { statusCode: 200, body: 'Cold start metric captured' };
};

Other packages similar to @aws-lambda-powertools/metrics

    aws-sdk

    The aws-sdk package is the official AWS SDK for JavaScript, which includes support for CloudWatch metrics. However, it requires more boilerplate code to achieve the same functionality as @aws-lambda-powertools/metrics. It is more general-purpose and not specifically tailored for Lambda functions.

    cloudwatch-metrics

    The cloudwatch-metrics package is a lightweight library for publishing metrics to CloudWatch. It provides a simpler interface compared to the aws-sdk but lacks some of the advanced features and integrations offered by @aws-lambda-powertools/metrics, such as automatic cold start metrics.
