Profiling your applications that run on AWS Lambda
To start CodeGuru Profiler in your application running on AWS Lambda, you can either update your Lambda function configuration or modify your application code. The former option is available only for Java 8 on Amazon Linux 2 and Java 11 and Java 17 (Corretto) runtimes, while the latter is available for all Java runtimes.
If you enabled profiling in the Lambda console, you don't have to complete the procedure outlined in the following sections. To learn more about enabling profiling from the Lambda console, see Set up in the Lambda console.
Note
You can profile your Lambda functions running in Java if they are called often enough for CodeGuru Profiler to gather enough samples. CodeGuru Profiler collects data once per second, aggregated into 5-minute sampling buckets. For Lambda functions running for fewer than 5 minutes, your application must run multiple times so CodeGuru Profiler can collect enough data. If it runs too infrequently, CodeGuru Profiler can't generate enough data to provide recommendations and flame graphs. For long-running Lambda applications, processing can take up to 15 minutes to display graphs and information. If you are running your application in shorter durations, processing takes longer to display information.
