2025 Report: Destructive Malware in Open Source Packages
Destructive malware is rising across open source registries, using delays and kill switches to wipe code, break builds, and disrupt CI/CD.
@sentry/aws-serverless
Advanced tools
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:
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,
});
Another and much simpler way to integrate Sentry to your AWS Lambda function is to add an official layer.
arn:aws:lambda:us-west-1:TODO:layer:TODO:VERSION.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
