Send APM data to Elastic with:
- Elastic APM agents: Elastic APM agents are lightweight libraries you install in your applications and services. They automatically instrument supported technologies, and offer APIs for custom code instrumentation.
- OpenTelemetry: OpenTelemetry is a set of APIs, SDKs, tooling, and integrations that enable the capture and management of telemetry data from your services and applications.
Elastic also supports instrumentation of AWS Lambda functions.
